Description:
London: London Stamp Exchange. Very Good in Fair dust jacket. 1991. First Edition (?). Hardcover. 0948130989 . A slightly 'odd' edition as this book is bound in brick coloured 'rexine' covered boards with a b/w (non pictorial) photocopied/sellotaped dustwrapper. So I think that possibly it is bound from a set of 'offcuts', or is some form of 'Remainder' as o/w the book is internally fine, with all the correct information/publication details and has obviously never been used. Illustrated in b/w and with Line-Drawings. 518 pp. NO Inscriptions or marks. Overall an Excellent clean tight and bright Hardback edition of this classic book. Looks unread/unused. ; 8vo Tall .

Cardiff: University of Wales Press. Near Fine in Near Fine dust jacket. 2002. First Edition. Hardcover. 0708317146 . Dark Blue boards with bright gilt titling to the spine. The corners are sl. 'bumped'. In the original publisher's decorated dustjacket." Dustjacket is Not clipped. (viii + (2) + 182 pp. Lazamon's Brut - a twelfth-century verse history of Britain from its supposed foundation by Brutus to the seventh-century Cadwalader - is the first major work in English after the Norman Conquest and also marks the first appearance of the Arthurian legends in English. Previous Brut scholarship has tended to focus on the philological and linguistic aspects of the text, despite its historical importance and interest. 'Writing the Future' demonstrates Lazamon's use of prophecy as a narrative strategy to unite and respond to political and religious ideologies, and uses the work of Mikhail Bakhtin to rethink the relationship between literature and history in the…

Description:
Caerdydd (cardiff): Gwasg Prifysgol Cymru. Very Good+ in Fair dust jacket. 1958. First Edition Thus. Hardcover. "The Welsh Language Edition of the text preserved in the White Book of Rhydderch Llyfr Gwyn Rhydderch (c.1350-) with an introduction and notes. The text is a thirteenth-century translation of a lost Anglo-Norman 'La Geste de Boun de Hamtone'. It blends elements from romance, epic, folk-tales and saints' legends: the hero fights with dragons and Saracens, travels widely, and marries a (converted) princess. The story was widely popular all over Europe, and exists in many vernacular versions. The Welsh rendering belongs to the same literary milieu as the Charlemagne tales, and the translator's creative language maintains the same high standard as is found in these, with some lively vernacular dialogue. `Syr Bwn' was known to later Welsh poets as a paragon of courage and Christian virtues." Green cloth Boards with bright gilt titling to the spine in the…
