Description: |
This volume presents a narrative history of the Celtic world from c. 1000 BC to the present day. Covering continental Europe, Britain and Ireland, and the present day Celtic global Diaspora, it tells the story of the birth, death and rebirth of one of the most important peoples of European history.. |
Synopsis: |
This dramatic history traces the mysterious Celts from their dark origins, including Druids and King Arthur, right across Britain and Europe and looking at their beliefs, cultures and arts as well as their warring and expansion. The resurgence of Celtic identity in Britain and Europe has revitalized interest in Celtic history. At the same time, developments in genetics and archaeology have led to it becoming an arena of serious controversy. John Hayward explores the changing identity of Europe's Celtic speaking peoples through history, both as they saw themselves and as others saw them. Covering continental Europe, Britain and Ireland, and the present day Celtic global diaspora, this is a vibrant and meticulously researched account. |
