ОглавлениеNote to the reader
This book traces the history of the strained power relations between Galicia and Spain as manifest in their cultural imagery and interactions. Language instability, particularly in Galician, is a reflection of the unequal nature of such interactions. Thus, I have not standardized any of the Galician or Spanish quotations where these appeared in what would today be considered non-standard or archaic forms. I have also respected contemporary variation in Galician orthography, which is a feature of the contested process of language standardization in a non-state nation. For all translations into English I have had invaluable help from John Rutherford.
