Anthology of Apologists and Detractors of the Basque Language
by Juan Madariaga Orbea (2006)
Translated by Frederick H. Fornoff, María Cristina Saavedra,
Amaia Gabantxo, and Cameron J. Watson.
A thorough
introduction is followed by texts from numerous authors
presenting arguments on the excellence or inferiority of the
Basque language. “From the seventeenth through the nineteenth
centuries . . . a number of Spanish and French authors made it
their business to point out the barbarity and lack of literary
development of the Basque language . . . On the other hand, the
Basque apologists sought to legitimize the [language and
foral system] through the creation of a construct, more or
less mythical in essence, which with great frequency relied on
the excellence of the Basque language for its justification . .
. This anthology attempts to present the most important works of
this secular polemic.”
704 pages. Hardcover,
$39.95 (ISBN 1-877802-63-8); paper, $29.95 (ISBN 1-877802-62-X)
