This text seeks to contribute to women's studies by means of its focus on the compelling poetry of a woman who was little known outside her natal territory and wrote in a now-threatened minority language. An introductory section traces the poet's life and her place in Brittany's history and poetic tradition. The poems themselves are presented in their original language and in translation, with appropriate annotations.

Calin explores the 20th-century renaissance of literature in the minority languages of Scots, Breton, and Occitan, and demonstrates that all three literatures have evolved in a like manner, repudiating their romantic folk heritage.

Blending poetic language and scientific fact, Carolyn Lesser explores how one magnificent bear lives throughout the year. Impressionistic paintings follow the bear as he hunts, swims, plays, and journeys in the far north. “Lyrical in tone and accurate in zoological detail, the narrative is ideal for one-on-one sharing.”--School Library Journal

Developments in the European Union over the last decade have been largely positive from the perspective of stateless and minority ethnic groups and the survival and prosperity of minority languages. This selection of sociologically and ethnographically oriented work enables the reader to compare developments in different ethno-linguistic revival movements within the European Union. The contributions also explore the impact of EU policy and discourse on the individual movements and the orientation of Western Europe as a whole towards linguistic heterogeneity and cultural diversity. A companion volume (0-333-92924-1) examines the status of minority languages in post-1989 Eastern Europe.

This volume seeks to offer a new way of reading A la Recherche du Temps Perdu, using a fluid manner of interpretation which suggests process rather than product. This study contends that everything in Proust's work is threefold. The middle term is the common ground shared by the two terms of comparison that constitute a metaphor.

This collection of contemporary Celtic language poets offers a first comprehensive look in English at poets from Wales, Brittany, Scotland, Ireland, Cornwall, and Isle of Man writing in Welsh, Breton, Scottish Gaelic, irish Gaelic, Cornish and Manx. In tone, these voices are as sensitive as they are subversive. They mirror the struggle and resiliency of a century of language activist-writers who have defied attempts at cultural genocide by the English and the French - and have continued to write and speak their languages. The result of that staying power is evidenced in a ground swell of literary activity during the last half of the 20th century in all six Celtic countries represented in this book. These are the "New Celts", the progency of hundreds of years of ancient cultural tradition, yet a modern as anything being written anywhere in the world. -- Publisher description.
