The poems of Taliesin, Aneirin, Myrddin and Llywarch Hen were spoken 'praise' or eulogy recantation that give us glimpses of the intense pressure facing the Gwyr y Gogledd, or Men of the North, at the end of the sixth and the beginning of the seventh centuries.

As already mentioned, Aneirin was a poet who flourished at the end of the 6th century, so if we accept this poem has his authentic work, either in part or in its entirety, a gap of some six and a half centuries separates the date of its composition from that of the earliest surviving copy.
In the stanza entitled 'The Reciter's Prologue', Aneirin is described as the 'son of Dwywai'.
This allusion to Dwywai links Aneirin with the royal houses of the North, for according the genealogies a Dwywai was the daughter of Lleynnog and therefore the sister of Gwallog.

The basic aim of this book is to show that Aneirin, who lived in the 7th century C.E., could have written the "Gododdin," which was first transcribed (that we know of) in the 13th century C.E. To do this, Koch works backwards from the text we have in the Book of Aneirin.
The first half of the book is the introduction, which as O.J. Padel noted read more like working notes than anything intended for public consumption, and surely not for the casual reader.
