This interdisciplinary volume of essays examines the real and
imagined role of Classical and Celtic influence in the history of
British identity formation, from late antiquity to the present day.
In so doing, it makes the case for increased collaboration between
the fields of Classical reception and Celtic studies, and opens up
new avenues of investigation into the categories Celtic and
Classical, which are presented as fundamentally interlinked and
frequently interdependent. In a series of chronologically arranged
chapters, beginning with the post-Roman Britons and ending with the
2016 Brexit referendum, it draws attention to the constructed and
historically contingent nature of the Classical and the Celtic, and
explores how notions related to both categories have been
continuously combined and contrasted with one another in relation
to British identities. Britishness is revealed as a site of
significant Celtic-Classical cross-pollination, and a context in
which received ideas about Celts, Romans, and Britons can be
fruitfully reconsidered, subverted, and reformulated. Responding to
important scholarly questions that are best addressed by this
interdisciplinary approach, and extending the existing literature
on Classical reception and national identity by treating the Celtic
as an equally relevant tradition, the volume creates a new and
exciting dialogue between subjects that all too often are treated
in isolation, and sets the foundations for future
cross-disciplinary conversations.
