- This book (pp.320) is the fruit of several years of full-time research, supported by the AHRC and the Leverhulme Trust, into the stylistic differences between Early Welsh, and Old and Middle English poems. Key to this comparative analysis is its methodological and theoretical innovation, adapting the work of Labov on narrative clauses and Higley on contrastive criticism to the analysis of this poetry while also subjecting the poems’ narrative to statistical analysis, thereby allowing for new readings of medieval literary culture. The book, wide-ranging in scope, challenges long-standing views on Early Welsh narrative verse.
