SynopsisThrough fifty-four color maps, covering almost 3,000 years and spanning the whole of Europe, this atlas of the Celts charts their dramatic history from Bronze Age origins to present-day diaspora. Each map is accompanied by an authoritative text and supporting illustrations. "Continental Celts" maps the Hallstatt and La Tène cultures in Central Europe; the migrations into Italy, Iberia, Greece, and Anatolia; the fate of Celtic culture under Roman rule; and the fortunes of the Bretons from the Dark Ages to their absorption by France. Beginning with Iron Age Britain and Ireland, "Atlantic Celts" covers the failure of the Romans to complete the conquest of the islands, the resurgence of Celtic civilization in the Dark Ages, the history of Gaelic Ireland, and the making of Scotland. "Modern Celts" examines the revival of Celtic identity, from the Celtomania of the eighteenth century through the growth of nationalism and the current state of Celtic culture., No other book presents the story of the Celts so graphically and accessibly. Ranging over archaeology and military, cultural, literary and political history, this is a superb volume and an ideal introduction to one of Europe's most inventive and influential people. Taking into account academic controversies over the historical identity of the Celts and the latest research, the atlas examines the Continental Celts, the Atlantic Celts (Britain and Ireland) and the Celtic identity in the modern world. Each map is accompanied by an authoritative text and supporting illustrations and the book explores all aspects of the Celtic identity - from their languages to Druids, sanctuaries, temples, hillforts and brooches. It considers Celtic origins in the Bronze Age and their remarkable migrations across Europe in the Iron Age right through to the spread of Celts to all corners of the globe, from North America to Patagonia, South Africa and Australia, and the Celtic Revival., "Well written, edited, and produced, this is just the book for a Celtophile to wile away the hours and the pints with." --Booklist, "Continental Celts" maps the Hallstatt and La Tene cultures in Central Europe; the migrations into Italy, Iberia, Greece, and Anatolia; the fate of Celtic culture under Roman rule; and the fortunes of the Bretons from the Dark Ages to their absorption by France.
