The history and the culture of the Celtic peoples from pre-history to the Norman invasion.
Myles Dillon Livres
Myles Dillon fut un historien et philologue irlandais profondément engagé dans les études celtiques. Son érudition s'est plongée dans l'irlandais ancien et la philologie celtique, explorant l'héritage partagé entre les cultures indienne et irlandaise. Les contributions significatives de Dillon comprennent des études méticuleuses sur la littérature et la mythologie irlandaises, présentant des traductions et des commentaires de textes en irlandais ancien. Ses intérêts académiques s'étendaient à la philologie comparée et à la linguistique, laissant un héritage durable dans le domaine des études celtiques.
In tracing the period from prehistoric origins to the Norman invasion of Britain, Dillon and Chadwick achieve a masterly survey of the history and culture of the Celtic peoples. The origins of the Celts begins with a focus on ancient Gaul, with separate attention to British and Irish peoples. Though Celtic art is still valued today, part of our attraction is to its mystic quality; the authors demonstrate the particular genius of the Celts in their religion, literature, and visual arts.
Noted French scholar and linguist discusses gods of the continental Celts, beginnings of mythology in Ireland, Irish mother-goddesses and chieftain-gods, and heroes.
