A detailed and comprehensive study of the Celts from the first evidence of them in the archaeological and historical record to the early post-Roman period. This volume looks at archaeology, language, literature, towns, warfare, rural life, art, religion and myth, trade and industry, political organizations, society and technology. It draws together material from all over pagan Celtic Europe and includes contributions from British, European and American scholars. The book addresses some important issues - Who were the ancient Celts? Can we speak of them as the first Europeans? In what form does the Celtic identity exist today and how does this relate to the ancient Celts?

Reviews for The Celtic World

'One of the most comprehensive and authoritative books to appear on the history of the Celts in recent years. ... I know of no better introduction to the subject for the general reader.' - Cardiff Western Mail 'A massive and authoritative collection of essays ... a matchless, Europe-wide account of who the Celts were, what they created and how they lived.' - New Statesman and Society 'The Celtic World by Miranda Green is very impressive indeed. There is a lot here that is new and the detail is the most impressive thing about it, but then there are contributors of the calibre of Dr. Anne Ross and Professor Proinsias Mac Cana, whose works already rank as standard texts.' - Quest
