Description
The Druids: A Very Short Introduction by Barry Cunliffe explores the enigmatic history of these ancient figures. First coming into focus in Western Europe around the second century BC, the Druids have been a subject of fascination for over 2,000 years. Their existence is shrouded in mystery, with a wide range of interpretations emerging from the limited evidence available. Cunliffe examines the changing nature of the druid caste over time and how successive generations have interpreted their phenomenon in different ways. This book provides an engaging overview of the subject, aiming to separate fact from fiction and shed light on the enduring mystique surrounding the Druids. This introduction is part of Oxford University Press's Very Short Introductions series, which offers concise and accessible guides to a broad range of subjects.
