The history and lasting influence of the Celts, from their origins
in eastern Europe through the upheaval of the early middle ages to
"twilight" and decline in the west. The Celts were one of the most
important population groups to spread across the ancient European
continent. From 800BC to 1050AD their story is one of expanding
power and influence followed by contraction and near extinction.
Drawing on all possible sources of evidence, from archaeological
remains of ancient Greece and Rome to surviving cultural
influences, Daithi O hOgain outlines the history of the people
known as Celts. He follows the evolution oftheir culture as it
gained strength on its two-thousand-year passage through Europe.
The influence of the Celts is far more widespread than its
fragmented survival in the outer fringes of western Europe
indicates; this onceimportant culture is still a vital component of
European civilisation and heritage, from east to west. In tracing
the course of the history of the Celts, O hOgain shows how
far-reaching their influence has been. Daithi OhOgain is Associate
Professor of Irish Folklore at University College Dublin. A
recognised authority on Celtic folklore and history, he has
lectured widely and contributed to many radio and TV programmes on
Irish literature and cultural history. He is the author of The
Sacred Isle: Pre-Christian Religion in Ireland.
