Translating Culhwch and Olwen. (publication)




I've been translating the story of Culhwch and Olwen, a medieval Welsh tale. It's usually flagged as 'the oldest surviving story of King Arthur.' My aim  is to translate medieval Welsh prose into a modern English verse sequence.  You can read the first published attempts by clicking on the link below which will take you to David Cooke's The High Window where you'll find many other excellent things.  

 Seven extracts from Culhwch and Olwen
