Review # 1 was written on 2019-07-21 00:00:00 Joseph Clemens idiosyncratic words: anent, epigonal, senescent

Review # 2 was written on 2013-09-11 00:00:00 R C Thompson Jr Rowlands does for the saga poems what Bromwich did for the Welsh Triads and Jackson did with 'Y Gododdin'. A remarkable study of the poetry, including a competent overview of their origins and development. Of course she does not do the phenomenal research Bromwich did in finding every other mention of each character followed by an essay on them, but the work she does do is solid and highly useful for the professional scholar. Apparently it is readable to the enthusiast as well.
