Memory and Foresight in the Celtic World delves deep into the
experience of Celtic communities and individuals in the late
medieval period through to the modern age. Its thirteen essays
range widely, from Scottish soldiers in France in the fifteenth
century to Gaelic-speaking communities in rural New South Wales in
the twentieth, and expatriate Irish dancers in the twenty-first.
Connecting them are the recurring themes of memory and foresight:
how have Celtic communities maintained connections to the past
while keeping an eye on the future? Chapters explore language loss
and preservation in Celtic countries and among Celtic migrant
communities, and the influence of Celtic culture on writers such as
Dylan Thomas and James Joyce. In Australia, how have Irish, Welsh
and Scottish migrants engaged with the politics and culture of
their home countries, and how has the idea of a Celtic identity
changed over time? Drawing on anthropology, architecture, history,
linguistics, literature and philosophy, Memory and Foresight in the
Celtic World offers diverse, thought-provoking insights into Celtic
culture and identity.
