The book

This anthology aims to give an overall picture of Breton literature from the earliest traces in the Lais of Marie de France to the present day. The majority of the 150 stories, poems, legends and reminiscences are in Breton, with parallel translations into English. Also included are texts in English, and translations from Welsh, French and Latin. No anthology of Breton literature has been undertaken on this scale before. A truly groundbreaking book.
