Overview
Few surviving Celtic myths bear any resemblance to their originals. In the course of time they have been infused with romance, pseudo-history and Christian theory. Stories of Ireland and Wales have been combined with tales of love, war and slaughter — deeds both noble and ignoble. In this classic study, J.A. MacCulloch proves that Celtic legend borrowed from pre-Celtic mythology, just as Christianity in Britain subsumed much of the Celtic past. Thus, this volume connects the reader with history that reaches back into the mists of time.Book Details
