Beschreibung:
Dafydd ap Gwilym is the most renowned and original of Wales'' medieval poets, and is considered by many to be the greatest Welsh poet ever. His main topics were love and nature, and his poems express an individual response that combines mischievous humour and intense feeling. He was a poetic pioneer who pushed the boundaries of the Welsh language and the craft of Welsh poesy. In this volume the versions in modern Welsh and the notes are an essential aid to allow the reader to appreciate the rich poetry of the original texts.
Dafydd ap Gwilym yw’r enwocaf a’r mwyaf gwreiddiol o feirdd Cymru’r Oesoedd Canol, ac fe’i hystyrir gan lawer fel bardd mwyaf Cymru erioed. Ei brif bynciau oedd serch a natur, ac mae ei gerddi’n cyfleu ymateb unigolyddol sy’n cyfuno hiwmor direidus a dwyster teimladwy. Roedd yn arloeswr barddol a estynnodd ffiniau’r iaith Gymraeg a chrefft cerdd dafod. Yn y gyfrol hon mae’r aralleiriadau mewn Cymraeg modern a’r nodiadau yn gymorth anhepgor i alluogi’r darllenydd i werthfawrogi barddoniaeth gyfoethog y testunau gwreiddiol.
