This book is based in large part on fieldwork that I conducted in
Brittany and Wales in 1983 and 1985. I am thankful for a Fulbright
Award for Research in Western Europe and a Faculty Development
Award from the University of North Carolina that funded that
fieldwork. lowe a less tangible, but no less real, debt to Steve
Anderson, G. M. Awbery, Steve Harlow and Jim McCloskey whose work
initially sparked my interest, and led me to undertake this
project. I want to thank Joe Emonds and Alec Marantz who read
portions of Chapter 3 and 5. I am particularly grateful though to
Kathleen Flanagan, Frank Heny and two anonymous referees who read a
dyslexic and schizophrenic manuscript, providing me with criticisms
that improved this final version considerably. The Welsh
nationalist community in Aberstwyth and its Breton coun terpart in
Quimper helped make the time I spent in Wales and Brittany
productive. I am indebted to Thomas Davies, Partick Favreau, Lukian
Kergoat, Sue Rhys, John Williams and Beatrice among others for
sharing their knowledge of their languages with me. Catrin Davies
and Martial Menard were especially patient and helpful. Without
their assistance this work would have been infinitely poorer. I am
hopeful that this book will help stimulate more interest in the
Celtic languages and culture, and assist, even in a small way,
those in Wales and Brittany who struggle to keep their language and
culture strong."
