Reviews
'This welcome, authoritative study synthesizes the history and archaeology of early medieval Brittany, framed comparatively in terms of its wider west European, Atlantic connections. Not only students of the European early middle ages but anyone fascinated by the Breton landscape and its history will read it with profit and pleasure.' Marios Costambeys, University of Liverpool 'Subtly interweaving textual and archaeological evidence, this substantial and comprehensive volume convincingly highlights the cultural interdependence of Brittany and Britain in the AD 450–1200 period. Debunking hoary clichés and offering innovative approaches to cross-Channel movements of people and ideas, it makes a major contribution to the history of medieval Western Europe.' Patrick Galliou, Université de Bretagne Occidentale (Brest) 'Brittany and the Atlantic Archipelago transforms scholarship on relations between Brittany and Britain (and Ireland) from the Breton settlements in Late Antiquity to Brittany's incorporation into the kingdom of France in 1203. It thereby makes a vital contribution to the history of what began as Gaul and would become France.' Thomas Charles-Edwards, University of Oxford '… A highly readable and important contribution to several areas of study … Highly recommended.' D. M. Hall, Choice
