How did Breton literature change during the 18th century?

During the 18th century, Breton literature experienced a period of limited literary output and significance. While numerous Breton dictionaries were published during this time, very little original work of lasting literary value was produced.1

The era was characterized by a continuation of the traditions established in the Middle Breton period, with mystery and miracle plays remaining the primary form of literature. These plays typically focused on subjects derived from the Old and New Testaments, the lives of saints, and stories of chivalry adapted from French or Latin sources, often lacking original creative expression. The only individual from this century whose name survives in the context of literary production is Claude-Marie Le Laë, who is noted for his satiric poems.1
