Frank Coffman goes over the poetry in "Men of the Shadows." Lot of good info about Picts and Poetry from a Professor. You'll be smarter after reading it. |

Frank Coffman goes over the poetry in "Men of the Shadows." Lot of good info about Picts and Poetry from a Professor. You'll be smarter after reading it. Thanks for posting this article Gary. Fascinating how Frank's analysis brings out the hidden complexities of the meters REH is using and it's a sobering thought to reflect that REH picked this stuff up by ear rather than from any formal study. Wonder how much of this kind of topic would have been discussed in the old Celtic bardic and druidic traditions - but they too became Men of the Shadows, then passed into the Night.

Yes, Frank Coffman knows his stuff when it comes to REH's poetry. He did a few really good posts about REH's poetry for the blog. I appreciate him.
