Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

A detailed and comprehensive study of the Celts from the first evidence of them in the archaeological and historical record to the early post-Roman period. This volume looks at archaeology, language, literature, towns, warfare, rural life, art, religion and myth, trade and industry, political organisations, society and technology.

It draws together material from all over pagan Celtic Europe and includes contributions from British, European and American scholars.

The book addresses some important issues: Who were the ancient Celts? Can we speak of them as the first Europeans? In what form does the Celtic identity exist today and how does this relate to the ancient Celts?

The Celtic World provides an insightful exploration into these questions, offering a scholarly yet accessible narrative that bridges past and present Celtic identities.
