''An Essay On The Influence Of Welsh Tradition Upon European Literature'' is a book written by John Dorney Harding in 1840. The book explores the impact of Welsh folklore and mythology on European literature, particularly on the works of English and French writers. Harding argues that the rich and varied tradition of Welsh mythology, with its tales of Arthurian legends, dragons, and magical creatures, has had a profound influence on European literature, shaping the imaginations of writers and inspiring them to create their own stories and legends.The book is divided into several chapters, each of which examines a different aspect of Welsh tradition and its influence on literature. The first chapter provides an overview of Welsh mythology and folklore, while the subsequent chapters focus on specific themes, such as the Arthurian legends, the tales of the Mabinogion, and the role of the Welsh bards. Harding also explores the influence of Welsh tradition on the works of individual writers, such as Chaucer, Spenser, and Shakespeare.Throughout the book, Harding argues that Welsh tradition has been a major source of inspiration for European writers, and that its influence can be seen in everything from the themes and motifs of their works to the structure and style of their writing. He also emphasizes the importance of preserving Welsh tradition and folklore, arguing that it is a valuable cultural heritage that deserves to be studied and appreciated.Overall, ''An Essay On The Influence Of Welsh Tradition Upon European Literature'' is a fascinating exploration of the relationship between Welsh mythology and European literature, and a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of literature and folklore.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
