Literature, Poetry & Criticism; Celtic religion & mythology
The classic introduction to Celtic literature and culture

Including works from Welsh, Irish and Scottish Gaelic, Cornish, Breton and Manx, this Celtic Miscellany offers a rich blend of poetry and prose from the eighth to the nineteenth century, and provides a unique insight into the minds and literature of the Celtic people. It

is a literature

dominated by a deep sense of wonder, wild inventiveness and a profound sense of the uncanny, in which the natural world and the power of the individual spirit are celebrated with astonishing imaginative force. Skifully arranged by theme, from the hero-tales of Co Chulainn, Bardic poetry and elegies, to the sensitive and intimate writings of early Celtic Christianity, this

anthology provides a fascinating insight into a deeply creative literary tradition.
