Infos

Dissonant Neighbours offers a new insight into the medieval literatures of Britain. Looking in particular at narrative and the way in which the poets tell stories, the book highlights the great stylistic differences between early Welsh and English poems, even when they are retelling the same or similar events. This allows readers an insight to the distinguishing features and trends within both medieval Welsh and English poetry.
