The Celtic realms

In tracing the period from prehistoric origins to the Norman invasion of Britain, Dillon and Chadwick achieve a masterly survey of the history and culture of the Celtic peoples. The origins of the Celts begins with a focus on ancient Gaul, with separate attention to British and Irish peoples. Though Celtic art is still valued today, part of our attraction is to its mystic quality; the authors demonstrate the particular genius of the Celts in their religion, literature, and visual arts.
