Peeps at Brittany
Excerpt from Peeps at Brittany: The Bretons, and Breton Literature The province of Brittany comprises five depart ments, the Finistere, the Morbihan, the Cetes-du Nord, the ille-et-vilaine, and the loire-inferieur; but the two last named departments have under gone such great changes, and their original cha racteristics have been worn so smooth by the steady flow of civilization, that I have not taken them into consideration in this work. The three remaining departments were formerly divided into four dioceses: Cornouaille, St. Pol-de-leon, Treguier, and Venues; and, as each diocese has its distinguishing features, I have spoken of them in four separate chapters.

Postcolonial Brittany
This book investigates the space between the two languages of modern-day Brittany through a series of close readings of literary texts that represent Brittany or Bretonness in the French language. This is the space that is negotiated by translation, be it a smooth translation of Breton scenes and themes into a French fit for the salons of the capital, or a foreignizing translation of Breton motifs into a French that writhes and struggles to accommodate them. It is also the space negotiated by the bilingual author who writes in the shadow of the other language: the literary conventions of one may litter his work in the other, or the idioms and syntax of one may make their ghostly presence felt in the other. But it can equally be a space of violence as in the case of the writer whose whole community has lost its mother tongue, and writes under protest in the language of the cultural oppressor or colonizer. As the first sustained analysis of the literature produced between French and Breton, this book shows us how literary language is affected by such inter-cultural tensions, and also what it can mean to be caught between cultures.

The Middle English Breton Lays
This volume is the first to make the Middle English Breton lays available to teachers and students of the Middle Ages. Breton lays were produced by or after the fashion of Marie de France in the twelfth century and claim to be "literary versions of lays sung by ancient Bretons to the accompaniment of the harp." The poems edited in this volume are considered distinctly "English" Breton lays because of their focus on the family values of late medieval England. With the volume's helpful glosses, notes, introductions, and appendices, the door is opened for students to study Middle English poetry and the medieval family alike.
