All of Gwerful Mechain's known work is included here-as are several poems of uncertain authorship, and a selection of other works that help to fill in the historical and literary context.
Each medieval Welsh poem is provided in the original language and in two different translations-a literal translation and a second, freer translation, with rhyme patterns approximating those of the original.
