Britain's pagan past, with its mysterious monuments, atmospheric
sites, enigmatic artifacts, bloodthirsty legends, and cryptic
inscriptions, is both enthralling and perplexing to a resident of
the twenty-first century. In this ambitious and thoroughly
up-to-date book, Ronald Hutton reveals the long development, rapid
suppression, and enduring cultural significance of paganism, from
the Paleolithic era to the coming of Christianity. He draws on an
array of recently discovered evidence and shows how new findings
have radically transformed understandings of belief and ritual in
Britain before the arrival of organized religion. Setting forth a
chronological narrative, along the way Hutton makes side visits to
explore specific locations of ancient pagan activity. He includes
the well-known sacred sites-Stonehenge, Avebury, Seahenge, Maiden
Castle, Anglesey-as well as more obscure locations across the
mainland and coastal islands. In tireless pursuit of the elusive
"why" of pagan behavior, Hutton astonishes with the breadth of his
understanding of Britain's deep past and inspires with the
originality of his insights.
