Souvestre : 'account of the Bretons'

'When Millais left, my parents read together Souvestre's account of the Bretons. The fact that their most popular national songs are religious and that, when the cholera was among them, they would not listen to the doctors until they put their advice in song, set to national airs, struck my father.'

Century: 1850-1899     Reader/Listener/Group: Alfred and Emily Tennyson     Print: Book
