The Celts by John Collis
We use the word Celtic fast and loose--it evokes something mythical and romantic about our past--but what exactly does it mean? Furthermore, why do people believe that there were Celts in Britain and what relationship do they have to the ancient Celts? This fascinating book focuses particularly on how the Celts were re-invented in the 16th and 17th centuries, and how the legacy of mistaken interpretations still affects the way we understand the ancient sources and archeological evidence.
John Collis is Professor of Archaeology at the University of Sheffield, and is the leading British authority on the European Iron Age.
