Elegiac poetry has always been an integral part of Welsh culture: we only need to think of the earliest Welsh poetry, the Gododdin. This book looks at the elegiac poetry of the Bangor and Pentir area, presenting a fuller picture of local commemorative poetry, metrical forms used, popularity of specific verses and poets whose works were most popular.

Awdur: Howard Huws.

Bu barddoniaeth goffadwriaethol yn rhan annatod o gynhysgaeth ddiwylliannol y Cymry erioed: nid oes ond angen meddwl am y canu Cymraeg cynharaf, Y Gododdin. Dyma wneud hynny yn achos Bangor a Phentir, gan roi darlun mwy cyflawn o’r traddodiad canu coffadwriaethol lleol, y mesurau a arferid, poblogrwydd penillion neilltuol, a gwaith pa feirdd fu fwyaf at ddant.
