Description
Prior to its incorporation into France in 1532 the Breton Dukes maintained Brittany's independence as a Celtic nation first established by Nomeno in the 9th century.As a region of France, the Breton language and culture has been in a long and gradual decline. Yet over the past thirty years, Brittany has successfully been reasserting its linguistic and political identity.Written and presented in an accessible style, this book will also prove popular with travellers and the general public.
