Abstract

This article makes the case for the pivotal role played by Edward Thomas (Cochfarf) in Welsh-Breton relations in the first decade of the twentieth century. It makes accessible in French for the first time archival texts written in Welsh by Cochfarf, both journalism and private correspondence, and letters written to him in Welsh by Bretons. Analysis of these texts reveals the complexities the dual identities of the Breton-French and British-Welsh in the heyday of Pan-Celticism.
