0:23:34 > 0:23:38- ..to run its course.

0:29:03 > 0:29:05- We don't really swim.
0:29:05 > 0:29:10- It's time for some literature - and following years of grafting...
0:29:10 > 0:29:15- ..Gwyn Griffiths and Meic Stephens' - 1,000-page masterpiece...
0:29:16 > 0:29:18- ..featuring the finest - Welsh literature is complete.
0:29:19 > 0:29:22- The Old Red Tongue is a collection - that contains more than 300 pieces.
0:29:22 > 0:29:25- It's an English translation - of Welsh literature.
0:29:25 > 0:29:28- Rhodri chatted to the authors.
0:29:33 > 0:29:38- I'd written a book in the Breton - language that was published in 2006.
0:29:38 > 0:29:43- It was playing on my mind - and that of the publishers too...
0:29:43 > 0:29:49- ..and this marked the start - of this book in Welsh.
0:29:49 > 0:29:52- The purpose of the book...
0:29:53 > 0:29:56- ..is to introduce Welsh literature - to non-Welsh speakers.
0:29:56 > 0:30:01- That includes men and women in Wales - and those beyond the border.
0:30:01 > 0:30:05- It starts with The Book of Llandaff - that was written in Latin...
0:30:05 > 0:30:11- ..and moves on to The Gododdin - and Taliesin.
0:30:11 > 0:30:19- Many of this early poetry - was composed in Scotland.
0:30:19 > 0:30:24- Early Welsh poems originated from - the North of England and Scotland.
0:30:24 > 0:30:30- It moves on to the Poets of the - Princes and Poets of the Nobility.
0:30:30 > 0:30:35- It continues with religious works, - the Renaissance, Methodist hymns...
0:30:35 > 0:30:40- ..and it leads us to the modern era.
0:30:40 > 0:30:44- I hope this book enlightens, - captures plenty of attention...
0:30:44 > 0:30:48- ..and proves that the Welsh - language isn't something recent...
0:30:48 > 0:30:52- ..but was once spoken across - the whole of the British Isles.
0:30:53 > 0:30:58- Is it fair to say that it's - a lesson in Welsh history here?
0:30:58 > 0:31:02- There are essences - of Welsh history...
0:31:02 > 0:31:08- ..as Welsh literature reflects - the society that produced it.
0:31:08 > 0:31:14- We explain the identity of each - author and their significance...
0:31:14 > 0:31:18- ..and there's an introduction - to every century.
0:31:19 > 0:31:24- One of our initial problems - involved the number of pages.
0:31:24 > 0:31:28- There were 1,600 pages - and we reduced it by 600.
0:31:28 > 0:31:33- This was heartbreaking at times.
0:31:34 > 0:31:42- You don't expect to see pieces from - Geraint Jarman and Heini Gruffudd.
0:31:42 > 0:31:48- This is surprising but intentional.
0:31:48 > 0:31:51- If it wasn't for - the likes of Salesbury...
0:31:51 > 0:31:55- ..and his manifesto to save the - language in the 16th century...
0:31:55 > 0:31:59- ..would the language have survived?
0:31:59 > 0:32:03- If it wasn't for Salesbury - risking a visit to Henry VII...
0:32:04 > 0:32:10- ..the Welsh Bible - may not have existed.
0:32:10 > 0:32:20- Salesbury asked Henry's permission - to publish in Welsh.
0:32:21 > 0:32:27- Nothing compares to it - in the Welsh language.
0:32:27 > 0:32:34- It presents the Welsh with their - literature and they should read it.
0:32:34 > 0:32:41- There hasn't been a collection - of this magnitude before.
0:32:41 > 0:32:44- Who knows what impact it'll have...
0:32:44 > 0:32:49- ..but it's all depends on publicity - and people like yourself!
0:32:53 > 0:32:56- In the next part of the programme...
0:32:56 > 0:33:06- ..we step back to the 1950s with - Grease in the Millennium Centre.
