What is Anthology of Apologists And Detractors of the Basque Language (Basque Classics Series) about?

A thorough introduction is followed by texts from numerous authors presenting arguments on the excellence or inferiority of the Basque language. From the seventeenth through the nineteenth centuries . . . a number of Spanish and French authors made it their business to point out the barbarity and lack of literary development of the Basque language . . . On the other hand, the Basque apologists sought to legitimize the [language and foral system] through the creation of a construct, more or less mythical in essence, which with great frequency relied on the excellence of the Basque language for its justification . . . This anthology attempts to present the most important works of this secular polemic.
