Ancient Bards of Britain is a book written by D. Delta Evans that explores the history and mythology of the bards of ancient Britain. The book delves into the origins of the bardic tradition, tracing its roots back to the Druids and other ancient Celtic cultures. It also looks at the role of the bards in society, from their role as entertainers and storytellers to their importance as keepers of history and tradition.Throughout the book, Evans draws on a wide range of sources to paint a vivid picture of the world of the ancient bards. He explores the stories and legends associated with famous bards such as Taliesin and Aneirin, as well as lesser-known figures from the bardic tradition. Along the way, he discusses the impact that the bards had on British culture and society, from their influence on the Arthurian legends to their role in the Welsh national identity.Ancient Bards of Britain is a rich and engaging exploration of a fascinating aspect of British history and mythology. It will appeal to anyone with an interest in Celtic culture, mythology, or history. The book is well-researched and accessible, making it a great choice for both scholars and general readers alike.1906. Being a critical inquiry into traditions concerning their history, philosophy, religion, ethics and rites of the ancient bards of Britain, sometimes called druids, in the light of science and modern thought.
