Description
The Celts: A Very Short Introduction by Barry Cunliffe For centuries, the Celts have been shrouded in myth and misconception. This fascinating people group has been subject to a tangled web of preconceived ideas and stereotypes, obscuring their true nature. In this book, Barry Cunliffe seeks to reveal the Celts for the first time, using an impressive range of evidence to explore subjects such as trade, migration, and the evolution of Celtic traditions. Through his examination of society's needs and how they have shaped our perceptions of the Celts, Cunliffe sheds light on colourful characters like St Patrick, Cú Chulainn, and Boudica. By uncovering the complexities of Celtic history, this book offers a fresh perspective on one of Britain's most intriguing cultural heritage groups. This concise introduction is part of Oxford University Press's Very Short Introductions series, which provides expert analysis and insights into almost every subject area.
