The post-Roman period which saw the coming of the English to the island and the formation of lasting and more temporary kingdoms is surveyed. This forms the background to the study of the earliest Welsh poetry, saga poetry, and Medieval Welsh prose tales.

The origin and development of Arthurian literature, the great contribution of Wales to medieval literature, also features. All works are read in translation.
