Synge attended a lecture at the Sorbonne delivered by Anatole Le Braz. Born in Saint-Servais in 1859; the Bard of Brittany was a Breton folklore collector and translator. The lecture made quite an impression, for the famously reticent Synge approached Le Braz afterwards and introduced himself. The two became friends and Synge read several of Le Brazs books on Breton folklore, including La Lgend de la Morte en Basse Bretagne (1893) and Au Pays des Pardons (1894), texts which were hugely influential to the composition of The Aran Islands and Synges subsequent dramatic cannon. This paper will explore the cross-cultural exchanges between Anatole Le Braz, the Breton cultural revival and Irish writers such as J.M. Synge and Douglas Hyde at the fin de sicle. Le Braz visited the west of Ireland for three months in early 1905, around the time that The Well of the Saints was courting controversy in Dublin. He travelled in the company of Henri Lebeau, a Breton who became a close friend of Synge. Lebeau reviewed The Well of the Saints in the Revue de lart dramatique on 15 April 1905, and is credited with exposing the play to a European audience. Finally, the paper will briefly examine the influence of the Gaelic League on the Breton Revival, comparing and contrasting the two movements as they struggled to assert cultural identities within the pervasive modernity of empire.
