[ed.] [tr.] Boyd, Matthieu [ed. and tr.], The Four Branches of the Mabinogi, Peterborough: Broadview Press, 2017.  
In addition to texts and English translations of the four tales, this publication also contains an introduction, map, and a section headed “In context”, with illustrations from the Welsh laws, Peniarth MS 28 (images), the Welsh Triads and Gerald of Wales’ Description of Wales (1194).
abstract:
Set in a primal past, the Mabinogi bridges many genres; it is part pre-Christian myth, part fairytale, part guide to how nobles should act, and part dramatization of political and social issues. This edition of what has become a canonical text provides a highly engaging new translation of the work, an informative introduction, and a set of background contextual materials that help place the Mabinogi in the context of medieval Welsh history and culture.
