The Celts - from their dark origin to the present day.
- Takes the story of the Celts right up to the present
- Compares archaeology to national mythology
- Covers continental Europe, Britain, Ireland and the present day
Diaspora to the Americas, Australasia and South Africa
Tracing the mysterious Celts from their dark origins to the
present, John Hayward paints a brilliantly evocative picture of the
birth, death and rebirth of one of the most important peoples of
European history. He explores their beliefs, cultures and arts as
well as their warring and expansion. A resurgence of Celtic
identity, particularly 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
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.
