Summary Annotation <div><p style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt">This volume provides edited selections, together with an introduction, notes, and glossary, from the lengthy and entertaining thirteenth-century Welsh epic,<i>Ystorya Bown o Hamtwn.</i>A hugely popular tale,<i>Ystorya Bown</i>is drawn from the Anglo-Norman epic<i>Geste de Boeve de Haumtone</i>(which was itself translated not only into Welsh, but also Middle English, Old Norse, and Early Modern Irish), and it relays a story of heroic Christian fortitude that offers contemporary readers fascinating insights into its cultural transmission and the worldview of its audiences.</p></div>
