Description | Thanks for Forster's book. Has checked up his suggestion of "Laumguin" but he has not noticed the passage in Bede about Oswald's hand. Encloses her article on early Welsh Literature. Would be grateful for notification of any outstanding errors or oversights before the end of July. The more controversial matters are raised in the second part where she has tried to argue that stories of the Mabinogi type belonged in origin to a class of tales about ancestor deities and early kings. Thinks Geoffrey of Monmouth preserves a better version of the Maximus story. Shall be glad to know where he does not agree.
