![]() ![]() I don’t need a description of Táin Bó Cúailnge - I’ve read it! And my other quibble would be the intense focus on Ireland. ![]() Pretty much my only quibbles, when you lay aside the outdated theories, were the way the literature was described at length. ![]() I found Chadwick’s style very pleasant and easy to read: this is serious and somewhat academic in depth, but not boring. Some of the theories are less in vogue now (with more credit given to the spread of ideas than the spread of people for the changes in agriculture, art, etc), but descriptions of the archaeology, art and literature are solid and worth reading. Although this book is undoubtedly out of date, published in 1971, it’s a fascinating survey of what was known and believed about the Celts at the time. ![]()
