Cathal to All, Greetings:
Earlier this PM I responded to a posting regarding period story-
telling. This response never echoed back on the Bardic list. FYI
here is the gist thereof:
A very useful reference for those interested in Irish medieval
tales and the telling thereof is:
_Gaelic Folk-Tales and Mediaeval Romances_
Alan Bruford
Dublin, The Folklore of Ireland Society, 1969
(No ISBN).
I mentioned in the lost posting that another useful reference
for those interested in the poetic forms of the period was _Early
Celtic Versecraft_ and promised to cite the bibliographic info for
the same as soon as the Bauchan who infests my library would give me leave
to find it. . .ill tempered Sidhe, never could take a joke! :}
Anyway, the info on _Early Celtic Versecraft_ precedes this on the list.
I hope it may be of interest.
Salvete,
Cathal Mac Edan na faeled
