The Bretons Résumé

The Bretons Patrick Galliou (Universite de Bretagne Occidentale)

This book draws upon a wide range of archaeological and literary material to provide a history of one of the most distinctive and individualistic regions of France and its people, from prehistoric times to the present. Focusing upon such themes as trade, settlement, agriclture, transport, population, religion, art and languages, the authors explore the characteristics of a society which has combined peoples from two different linguistic and cultural traditions in a long-enduring political union.

The Bretons Avis

Excellent. An ideal and thoroughly readable introduction. History

It is extremely useful to have a survey of Breton history and archaeology available in English; it is well illustrated, with 40 well-chosen plates and 26 figures, and there is a valuable bibliography. Will be of considerable assistance to university teachers of medieval history. French History

A very readable - and at times - fascinating account of one of the most individualistic regions of France. Modern and Contemporary France
