This anthology features works composed by notable Welsh poets, predominantly Iolo Goch, and serves to celebrate Welsh identity through lyrical expression. The poems span various subjects, including patriotism, nature, and personal sentiments, intertwined with historical and mythological references. At the start of the collection, an introduction by Ernest Rhys emphasizes George Borrow's deep fascination with Welsh culture, which influenced his translations and interpretations of Welsh poetry. He recounts his early experiences with the Welsh language and the poets who inspired him, particularly focusing on Iolo Goch, a contemporaneous bard to the legendary Owain Glendower. The introduction sets the stage for the subsequent poems, which include vivid depictions of Glendower's mansion, odes to celestial phenomena like comets, and poignant reflections on love and loss. Overall, the beginning of "Welsh Poems and Ballads" provides a glimpse into the richness of Welsh literary tradition and Borrow's endeavor to preserve and share it.
