The Celtic World is 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. The strength of this volume lies in its breadth - it looks at archaeology, language, literature, towns, warfare, rural life, art, religion and myth, trade and industry, political organisations, society and technology. The Celtic World draws together material from all over pagan Celtic Europe and includes contributions from British, European and American scholars. Much of the material is new research which is previously unpublished.
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?
For anyone interested in the Celts, and for students and academics alike, The Celtic World will be a valuable resource and a fascinating read.
'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
