Book excerpt: 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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Brittany With Bergere A comprehensive picture of Brittany and the Bretons; such a picture was not in the focus of a three weeks' trip in a dog-cart. Far less have I endeavored to set forth the customs, the history, the monuments of the country; these have been already amply recorded. Rather have I sought to imprison the elusive spirit of a happy, unfet tered ramble, to sketch lightly the color, the warmth, the music of it all truly, an almost im possible task for cold prose. Yet, if I have been able to give some faint idea of the magic charm of Brittany, its simple, unspoiled people and their simple, placid life; if I have been able to hint at the joy of such a trip as ours and the ease with which it is made; if, above all, I have been able to suggest unrealized possibilities to those who love to see a country as it really is, I shall feel that I have not entirely failed in my purpose. At least I can know that the pleasure of writing these few chapters has not been wholly selfish. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Brittany The kindly people will always treat a traveller with gracious courtesy. But Brittany, it must be remembered, is divided into two very distinct portions, that in which only French is spoken, and that in which the language is Breton, closely akin to Welsh. And of Brittany, by far the most interesting portion is F inistere, where old costumes and old customs are clung to more tenaciously than elsewhere.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Rambles in Brittany The book is a record of many journeys and many rambles by road and rail around the coast, and in no sense is it put forth either as a special or as a complete survey Of things and matters Breton. Many lights and shadows have been thrown upon the screen from various points, but the effort has been made to blend them all into a pleasing whole, which 'shall supplement the guide-books Of convention. It were not possible to do more than has been attempted within the limits Of a volume such as this, and therefore many details of routes, and historical data Of a relative sort, and a certain amount of topographical information have been scattered through the volume or placed in the appendix, in the belief that such information is greatly needed in a work at tempting to purvey travel talk, even in small measure.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Legends and Romances of Brittany Connected with Brittany I have relegated to a separate chapter, and I have considered it only fitting to include such of the Jazz's of that rare and human songstress Marie de France as deal with the Breton land. The legends of those sainted men to whom Brittany owes so much will be found in a separate chapter, in collect ing the matter for which I have obtained the kindest assistance from Miss Helen Macleod Scott, who has the preservation of the Celtic spirit so much at heart. I have also included chapters on the interesting theme of the black art in Brittany, as well as on the several species of fays and demons which haunt its moors and forests; nor will the heroic tales of its great warriors and champions be found wanting. To assist the reader to obtain the atmosphere of Brittany and in order that he may read these tales without feeling that he is perusing matter relating to a race of which he is Other wise ignorant, I have afforded him a slight sketch of the Breton environment and historical development, and in an attempt to lighten his passage through the volume I have here and there told a tale in verse, sometimes translated, sometimes original.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Breton Folk: An Artistic Tour in Brittany The following notes were made during three summer tours in Brittany, in two of which the Author was accompanied by the Artist. Breton Folk is not a description of the antiquities of Brittany, nor even a book of folk-lore. It is a series of sketches of a "black-and-white country" under its summer aspect; of a sombre land shrouded with white clouds, peopled with peasants in dark costumes, wide white collars and caps, black and white cattle and magpies.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Songs of Brittany If you ask the Breton minstrel whence he, the blacksmith's son and apprentice, derives his poetic gift, his extraordinary sense of all that is most beauti ful and fascinating in his native land and its folk-lore, he will tell you, without hesitation, it dates back to his early childhood, when he would listen spellbound hour by hour to the grandmother who loved to tell the boy the old, old tales as he sat by her knee 0' nights in the soft glow of the wood fire on the kitchen hearth. And none gripped him quite so closely as those stories of the mysterious sea, whose voice, now low and soothing, now loud and terrible, was ever in his cars. So to-day there are few writers either of prose or verse who know how to express as he expresses the manifold aspects of the ocean - the true inner meaning of the lives of those who go down to the sea in ships.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Ballads and Songs of Brittany The Brittany which still retains so much of its ancient tongue, national character, and local usages, as to separate its population from that of the rest of France even more distinctly than the Welsh or the Highlanders are separated from the English, comprehends the three departments of Finistere, Morbihan, and the Cotes du Nord. These departments include the four ancient bishoprics of St, Pol de Leon, or the Leonnais, Cornouaille, Vannes, and Treguier, each of which was formerly, and is still in great measure, a district with distinct dress, usages, and local character, both in the landscape and the people.
