Celtic mythology, Arthurian romance, and an intriguing interpretation of British history - these are just some of the themes embraced by the anonymous authors of the eleven tales that make up the Welsh medieval masterpiece known as the Mabinogion. They tell of Gwydion the shape-shifter, who can create a woman out of flowers; of Math the magician whose feet must lie in the lap of a virgin; of hanging a pregnant mouse and hunting a magical boar. Dragons, witches, and giants live alongside kings and heroes, and quests of honour, revenge, and love are set against the backdrop of a country struggling to retain its independence. This new translation, the first for thirty years, recreates the storytelling world of medieval Wales and re-invests the tales with the power of performance.

Les légendes de la Table Ronde font partie intégrante de l’héritage culturel occidental et revêtent une importance toute particulière en Grande-Bretagne où elles sont nées. Aux sources médiévales de la geste arthurienne – Triades, Mabinogion, Geoffroi de Monmouth, Chrétien de Troyes, Thomas Malory – refondues dans le poème épique de Tennyson qui a réconcilié le chevalier intemporel d’un Moyen Âge idéalisé et le gentleman victorien, se sont ajoutées au XXe siècle les œuvres de toute une pléiade de romanciers modernes, soucieux de retrouver le vrai Arthur. Dans cet ouvrage, Marc Rolland s’est intéressé à quelques romanciers qui, dans les années 60 et 70 ont révolutionné le corpus, forgeant un genre nouveau, roman historique, certes, mais témoignant souvent d’une consanguinité manifeste avec la fantasy voire même avec certaines formes de la S.-F. Ces auteurs eurent à jongler avec des paradoxes apparents, surtout celui de concilier le merveilleux et l’exactitude historique, car le roi Arthur apparaît le plus souvent comme un « Prince du Ve siècle », dernier défenseur de l’Empire romain. Celte ou Romain, chef de bande ou Roi du Sacrifice, l’identité d’Arthur se décline dans la multiplicité, faisant de la Matière de Bretagne, sans cesse renouvelée, une littérature vivante, populaire, capable de témoigner aussi bien de la nostalgie d’un âge d’or que des grandes angoisses de notre temps. Et si, loin d’appauvrir la légende, la nouvelle Matière de Bretagne, par son souci extrême d’historicité et sa thématique en phase avec les grandes créations littéraires et cinématographiques du présent, ne faisait que retrouver son rôle d’origine, opérer cette « sortie du temps » qui nous soustrait au quotidien et nous plonge dans le temps du mythe ?

Rédigé vers 1210 le roman de Wigalois conte l’histoire du fils de Gauvain de sa naissance à son couronnement, après maintes aventures initiatiques bien ancrées dans le merveilleux de la Matière de Bretagne et où le héros affronte géant, nain, dragon et revenants… Remontant à une source française perdue dont d’autres textes attestent l’existence, Wigalois est un témoin important qui intéressera tous ceux qui travaillent sur le roman arthurien et la sécularisation des mythes ainsi que les comparatistes.

Sublime calligraphy, marvellous art, and amazing initials, have charmed and captivated the audience of the Book of Kells for over twelve hundred years. This remarkable illuminated Gospel book attracts the attention of scholars as well as those more generally interested in the fabulous artefacts of the past. Everybody knows it was made by an extensive team of scribes and artists. Donncha MacGabhann knew that too. However, he was certain that a thorough examination could clearly identify the various contributions of its creators. His life and work as an artist and teacher inspired the belief that a close visual study could solve some of its enduring puzzles. The deeper he delved, the more he was convinced that Kells is entirely the work of two individuals. This evolved into a novel paradigm through which he came to know and understand the manuscript. Following years of meticulous research, this book tells the story of Kells' two Masters and their collaboration to create a Gospel book of unprecedented magnificence. Most poignantly, it reveals the struggle of the lone survivor of the two-man team to attempt the completion of their magnum opus. The most important outcomes of this book go far beyond the simple attribution of work to different hands. Much more significantly, it affords insights into the imagination which inspired its creators, especially the unique vision of Kells' great Scribe-Artist. Collectively, these new perspectives reveal a previously unknown 'Book of Kells,' one which, as it were, has remained hidden in plain sight. Challenging long-held theories is no small matter, and in doing so this radical study attempts to be comprehensive. The abundance of evidence may at times seem extravagant in its detail, for both specialists and non-specialists. The reader is therefore encouraged to find their own path in exploring 'The Book of Kells - A Masterwork Revealed: Creators, Collaboration, and Campaigns' -- back cover.

Merlin, Lailoken, Suibhne : trois figures du devin appartenant à trois provinces celtiques, respectivement le Pays de Galles, l’Écosse et l’Irlande. Trois personnages, trois énigmes et trois destins qui se rencontrent sur le champ du mythe. À partir de trois textes majeurs du xiie siècle ici traduits : la Vita Merlini du clerc gallois Geoffrey de Monmouth, la Vita Kentigerni et la Folie de Suibhne, texte mythologique irlandais, cet ouvrage dessine un portrait du devin celtique d’après ce que le Moyen Âge chrétien en conserve. Disqualifié par le prêtre ou l’évêque qui lui ôtent son privilège sacré, le devin ne possède plus guère que la science encyclopédique pour fonder sa légitimité. De son antique don prophétique, il ne reste plus que l’étrange discours d’une poésie sacrée où se lisent les signes incertains de l’Histoire.
