In "Triads of Britain," Iolo Morganwg curates a fascinating collection of triadic verses that encapsulate the essence of Welsh lore and cultural identity. Rooted in an intricate understanding of the Welsh bardic tradition, Morganwg employs a style that is both lyrical and reverential, weaving together themes of history, morality, and the natural world. The book serves as a crucial repository for the triadic form, which has deep historical significance in Celtic storytelling, reflecting the interconnection between thought, rhythm, and the oral tradition that permeates Welsh literature. Iolo Morganwg, an influential figure of the 18th-century Romantic movement, was not only a poet but also a collector and preserver of Welsh traditions. Born in Glamorgan, his intimate knowledge of Welsh history, language, and mythology informed his writings, inspiring a renaissance of interest in Welsh culture. Morganwg's commitment to promoting Celtic identity and heritage is evident in this work, which seeks to revive and legitimise ancient truths through a modern lens.
