Brasil Island, better known as Hy Brasil, is a phantom island. In the fourteenth century Mediterranean mapmakers marked it on nautical charts to the west of Ireland, and its continued presence on maps over the next six hundred years inspired enterprising seafarers to sail across the Atlantic in search of it. Writers, too, fell for its lure. While English writers envisioned the island as a place of commercial and colonial interest, artists and poets in Ireland fashioned it into a fairyland of Celtic lore. This pioneering study first traces the cartographic history of Brasil Island and examines its impact on English maritime exploration and literature. It investigates the Gaelicization process that the island underwent in nineteenth century and how it became associated with St Brendan. Finally, it pursues the Brasil Island trope in modern literature, the arts and popular culture.

La Relation des avantures de Mathieu Sagean, Canadien s'inscrit d'emblée dans le mythe d'El Dorado. Mais n'y aurait-il pas une part de vérité dans ce que raconte Sagean ? Son récit appartient tout ensemble à la réalité coloniale de la fin du xviie siècle et au roman d'aventures de flibuste et de piraterie dont la mode s'amorce alors en France. C'est cet écheveau d'inventions pures et simples et de faits vécus ou appropriés d'autres voyageurs que tente de démêler l'édition critique de Pierre Berthiaume.

Alors qu’elle s’interroge, se regarde et se raconte depuis des siècles, l’Europe demeure perplexe au miroir de ses inépuisables productions. Elle est à l’étroit dans les paragraphes étriqués des documents juridiques, elle tend à se soustraire aux appropriations idéologiques de toutes obédiences, dépasse toujours les images d’elle-même qu’elle crée sans relâche, échappe à sa propre histoire comme à ses historiens, à ses géographes et à tous ceux qui s’efforcent de la définir. Mais elle offre à l’expérience et à l’imagination des hommes la richesse infiniment diversifiée de son patrimoine. S’il est encore et toujours difficile de dire l’Europe, du moins peut-on la percevoir et la toucher, surtout en ces lieux singuliers mais innombrables où se livre au regard et à l’esprit un surcroît de sens. Frontières, carrefours, passages, nœuds urbains, vastes plaines, lieux de commémoration ou de mémoire : ce sont quelques-uns d’entre eux qui ont inspiré les auteurs de cet ouvrage. Dire l’Europe, sous leurs plumes croisées, c’est la redire sans cesse dans la multiplicité de ses manifestations particulières.
