"The influence of the Celts is far more widespread than its fragmented survival in the outer fringes of western Europe indicates; this once important culture is still a vital component of European civilisation and heritage, from east to west. In tracing the course of the history of the Celts, O. hOgain shows how far-reaching their influence has been."--BOOK JACKET.

The Celtic period was one of tremendous expansion, the last phase of European material and intellectual development before the Mediterranean world spread northwards over the Continent and linked it to modern times. Nora Chadwick's classic survey traces the rise and spread of the Celts, from their arrival in the British Isles in about the eighth century BC to the gradual transformation of their culture, initially under the Romans and later the Saxons.

This book is an exploration of the new idea that the Celtic languages originated in the Atlantic Zone during the Bronze Age, approached from various perspectives pro and con, archaeology, genetics, and philology. This Celtic Atlantic Bronze Age theory represents a major departure from the long-established, but increasingly problematical scenario in which the story of the Ancient Celtic languages and that of peoples called Keltoí Celts are closely bound up with the archaeology of the Hallstatt and La Tène cultures of Iron Age west-central Europe. The Celtic from the West proposal was first presented in Barry Cunliffe's Facing the Ocean (2001) and has subsequently found resonance amongst geneticists. It provoked controversy on the part of some linguists, though is significantly in accord with John Koch's findings in Tartessian (2009). The present collection is intended to pursue the question further in order to determine whether this earlier and more westerly starting point might now be developed as a more robust foundation for Celtic studies. As well as having this specific aim, a more general purpose of Celtic from the West is to bring to an English-language readership some of the rapidly unfolding and too often neglected evidence of the pre-Roman peoples and languages of the western Iberian Peninsula. Celtic from the West is an outgrowth of a multidisciplinary conference held at the National Library of Wales in Aberystwyth in December 2008. As well as the 11 chapters, the book includes 45 distribution maps and a further 80 illustrations. The conference and collaborative volume mark the launch of a multi-year research initiative undertaken by the University of Wales Centre for Advanced Welsh and Celtic Studies [CAWCS]: Ancient Britain and the Atlantic Zone [ABrAZo].

"A history of Celtic thought and identity over the last three centuries. This book will be the first synoptic historical study of Celtic ideas in the modern era. The Celts are perennially popular in both academic and popular culture, having been the subject of several recent books--scholarly and otherwise--as well as a major exhibition, 'The Celts: Art and Identity', at the British Museum and National Museum of Scotland in 2015-16. However, attention remains overwhelmingly focused on the ancient peoples labelled 'Celts', with little interrogation of how and why they became known as such during the modern period. In addressing these questions this study will be the first to account for the trajectory of ideas of the Celts--or 'Celticism'--and how they became fundamental pillars of national identities in western Europe, especially in Britain, Ireland, and France. A transnational approach covering the period from roughly 1700 to the present day will allow the proposed volume to chart the transformation of perceptions of the Celts from those of a sought-after European ancestor to those of a marginalised people living on the 'fringes' of western Europe. In doing so it will illustrate the wider intellectual, cultural, and political ramifications of this protracted ideological shift in different national contexts. As nationalism resurfaces across Europe, this timely study will reveal the intellectual history of a prominent cultural identity and show the historical contingency of Celtic-based nations, national identities, and nationalisms"--
