Welsh Studies LITERATURE By B. F. ROBERTS, Senior Lecturer in Welsh in the University College of Wales, Aberystwyth I. EARLY AND MEDIEVAL POETRY Hengerdd, the Gododdin in particular, has attracted a great deal of new and fruitful interest in recent years. K. H. Jackson, 'How Old is the Gododdin ?', part 1 of 'Some Questions in Dispute about Early Welsh Literature', SC, 8-9 : 1—t 7, answers criticisms put forward by Mac Cana and Greene. He defends the opinion held in his Gododdin, Edinburgh, 1969, that the poem 'represents in some sort a composition of about the year 600' and maintains that the idea of its being a 9th-c. forgery is untenable. The work of non-official poets is discussed by T. J. Morgan, `Canu Gwirebol', TB, 8:16-28, who offers comments on the nature of gnomic poetry and examines some early Welsh examples. A stray englyn from the Eiry mynydd sequence (The Colloquy of Llywelyn and Gwrnerth), in an 1 rth-c. orthography and therefore far older than the only other known version, is examined and its possible significance assessed by F. G. Cowley and N. Lloyd, 'An Old Welsh Englyn in Harley Charter 75 C 38', BBCS, 25, 1972-3 :
