The Celtic World is 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. The strength of this volume lies in its breadth - it looks at archaeology, language, literature, towns, warfare, rural life, art, religion and myth, trade and industry, political organisations, society and technology. The Celtic World draws together material from all over pagan Celtic Europe and includes contributions from British, European and American scholars. Much of the material is new research which is previously unpublished. 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? For anyone interested in the Celts, and for students and academics alike, The Celtic World will be a valuable resource and a fascinating read.… (plus d'informations)

PREFACE
The Celts have long been the subject of intense interest and speculation not only in Britain, Ireland and the European continent, but worldwide.
INTRODUCTION: Who were the Celts?
The decision to produce an international exploration of the Celtic world between 600 BC and AD 600 rests upon the premise that the ancient Celts existed in some manner, whether self-defined or as a group of peoples who were classified as such by communities who belonged to a separate cultural - and literate - tradition.

It is certain that many children who will be born in the early decades of the twenty-first century will be brought up to speak Welsh as either a first or a second language: it will depend on them whether or not, by the end of the century, Welsh is in a stronger position than Irish and Scottish Gaelic are now.
