[edit] Disambiguating Celtic

I've dab'd the Mabinogion-related link to Celt rather than Celtic languages as I assume the author's intented reference was more to the cultural origin of the stories rather than the fact that they were written in Welsh. But if you know more about it than I do (not difficult), please feel free to improve my dab, or

[edit] Readability

When reading through this article I had some difficulty searching for certain subjects, and finding information that I needed. Therefore, I think the content which lists the dates of literary works should be made into a separate timeline, and the rest of the article should relate more to the history behind the literature (rather than the chronological order of them). It might be easy to just make the timeline a separate heading. I am asking someone else to do this because I am somewhat new to Wikipedia, and am not yet familiar with the rules and editing norms.~problemrazor

[edit] Hmm...

I'm wondering if the current format of this article is worthwhile. Considering we already have a whole list of years in literature, it strikes me that this article should probably be a more prosaic discussion on the history of literature, rather than just another play-by-play chronology. I'm tempted to nominate for deletion, but I think this article can be salvaged. Thoughts? --Midnightdreary 18:08, 17 August 2007 (UTC)
