Job de Roincé, was a French journalist and writer, and also one of the founding figures of Breton nationalism.
Biography
Born in Segré in Maine-et-Loire in 1896, he attended school in Saint-Pol-de-Léon. As a teenager, he participated in the birth of Bleun-Brug, the movement of abbot Jean-Marie Perrot. After the First World War, he helped to create the Group of Young Bretons in 1919 with other members of Action Française like Charles Maurras. This movement was the origin of the separatist faction Breiz Atao, which he joined, but quickly left, as their radical views were incompatible with his own conservatism. However he later joined the Breton National Party, advocating for a royalist position. From a professional point of view, he started his career as a journalist with the journal Le Nouvelliste de Rennes. Between 1925 and 1945, he worked for Courrier de la Mayenne. From 1950, he lived in Rennes as the cartoon editor of Nouvelles de Bretagne. In all, he was an important literary activist, crucial in the regionalist politics and history of the west of France.
