Description

This splendidly illustrated volume, written by an eminent Celticist, first gives a summary account of the prehistory and early history of the Celts, then traces the linguistic origins of the Celtic languages and points out some of their most specific linguistic features. Its main interest, however, lies in the portrayal of Celtic culture as reflected in the testimonies of ancient writers, but especially in the genuine oral and literary traditions of medieval Ireland and Wales.
