"Occitania" is a books category for works that center on the culture, language, history and landscapes of the Occitan-speaking region of southwestern Europe—roughly modern southern France (Languedoc, Provence, Gascony, Auvergne, Limousin), parts of Catalonia and Italy—and the people, traditions and identities that arise there. It includes original Occitan literature and translations, medieval and troubadour poetry, historical studies (Cathars, feudal and medieval life), contemporary and historical fiction set in the region, travel writing, local gastronomy and viticulture, folklore and ethnography, language-learning and revival materials, and genre hybrids (mystery, romance, rural sagas) that draw on Occitan settings or themes. Readers can expect strong senses of place—vineyards, hilltop villages, Mediterranean light—interwoven with questions of regional identity, linguistic survival, pastoral and peasant life, and layered histories from medieval to modern times.
