====== Charles William Sullivan III ======
**Editor of the major anthology 'The Mabinogi: a book of essays' (NY: Garland Publications, 1996)**\\
Republished (NY: Routledge 2015).

**The 1970s - 90s was a pivotal period in Mabinogi Studies, a paradigm shift, and Sullivan's anthology neatly captures the shift in its collected essays from the period.** The 2015 reprint sold out within only two years, demonstrating how important it is to any serious student of the Mabinogi. (Some of its content is available on googlebooks, and of course via libraries.)\\
Sullivan explains that he just got tired of tracking these key articles in so many different places. So he put them in a book. His Introduction is genuinely helpful as an overview of Mabinogi Studies up to 1996.\\
The student needs to be aware that much of the book is packed reading, which cannot be absorbed in one read through. But patiently re-reading each article, will repay the effort. See notes below the Contents list for help.
