Overview
The Celtic period was one of tremendous cultural expansion, the last phase of European material and intellectual development before the Mediterranean world spread northwards over the Continent and linked it to modern times. Nora Chadwick's classic survey traces the rise and spread of the Celts, from their arrival in the British Isles in about the eighth century BC to the gradual transformation of their culture, initially under the Romans and later the Saxons. A new introductory chapter by Barry Cunliffe discusses the origins of the Celts and gives a fascinating overview of the current issues under debate among scholars in the field.A social, cultural and political history of the Celtic people starting from the second millennium B.C.
