Yr Hen Iaith

Pennod 35 -Gwydnwch Hen Draddodiad

29 Feb 2024

Description

Pennod 35 (cyfres 2, pennod 2) Roedd y bennod ddiwethaf yn amlinellu’r newidiadau mawr a ddaeth yn ystod oes y Tuduriaid. Mae’r bennod hon yn ystyried effaith rhai o’r newidiadau hyn ar y traddodiad barddol Cymraeg. Ond er gwaethaf yr holl drawsffurfiadau, gwelwn wrth graffu ar ychydig o ganu mawl o ddechrau’r cyfnod fod nifer o agweddau hynafol ar y traddodiad yn parhau wrth i’r traddodiad hwnnw esblygu ac amsugno elfennau newydd. Yn sicr, cyfuniad o’r hen a’r newydd yw’r hyn sy’n gwneud y cyfnod hwn yn hanes llenyddiaeth Gymraeg mor ddiddorol. Er bod pob rhan o Gymru wedi’i hail-lunio ar ffurf siroedd Seisnig yn ystod teyrnasiad Harri VIII, nodwn fod y gyfundrefn farddol Gymraeg yn parhau i feddwl am ddaearyddiaeth y wlad mewn dull Cymreig hynafol. Ac er gwaethaf awgrym rhai haneswyr Protestannaidd a awgrymai fod mynachdai Cymru’n sefydliadau pydredig erbyn iddynt gael eu diddymu gan Harri VIII, gwelwn fod rhai ohonynt wedi parhau’n ganolfannau diwylliannol a chrefyddol bywiog hyd at y diwedd. // The Persistence of an Old Tradition The last episode outlined the big changes which came during the ag of the Tudors. This episode considers the way in which these changes effected the Welsh bardic tradition. But despite of the transformations, we see while examining some praise poetry from the early part of the perioed that ancient aspects of the tradition continue while that tradition evolves and absorbs new elements. Indeed, a combination of the old and the new is what makes this period in the history of Welsh literature so interesting. Although every part of Wales was redrawn in the form of English shires during Henry VIII’s reign, we note that the Welsh bardic order continued to think of the country’s geography in ancient Welsh terms as well. And while some Protestant historians suggested that the monasteries of Wales were rotten institutions by the time that Henry VIII disestablished them, we see that some of them continued to be vibrant cultural and religious centres right up to the end.
