Mythology of Ancient Britain
W. L. Faraday's The Cattle Raid of Cualnge, London, 1904. The Fenian sagas are best studied in the six volumes of the Transactions of the Ossianic Society, Dublin, 1854-61; in Mr. S. H. O'Grady's Silva Gadelica, London, 1892; and in the Rev. J. G. Campbell's The Fians, London, 1891 (vol. iv. of 'Waifs and Strays of Celtic Tradition'). Lady Charlotte Guest's Mabinogion can now be obtained in several cheap editions, while Monsieur J. Loth's translation, Les Mabinogion, Paris, 1889, forms vols, iii. and iv. of the 'Cours de Littérature Celtique.'
Critical studies on the subject in handy form are as yet few. We may mention De Jubainville's Le Cyce Mythologique Irlandais et la Mythologie Celtique, Paris, 1884 (vol. ií, of the 'Cours'), translated by Mr. R. L. Best as The Irish Mythological Cycle and Celtic Mythology, Dublin, 1903; Professor J. Rhŷs's Lectures on the Origin and Growth of Religion as Illustrated by Celtic Heathendom (The Hibbert Lectures for 1886), London, 3rd edit., 1898, with their sequel, Studies in the Arthurian Legend, Oxford, 1891; and Mr. Alfred Nutt's The Voyage of Bran, son of Febal, 2 vols., London, 1895–97. The results of more recent, and current, research will be found in special publications, such as the volumes of the Irish Texts Society, and the numbers of the Revue Celtique, the Zeitschrift für Celtische Philologie, and the Transactions of the Cymmrodorion Society.
