The Atlantic Celts

Ancient People or Modern Invention?

by Simon James

James questions whether the ancient inhabitants of Britain and Ireland were ever 'Celts', arguing that the idea arose in the early eighteenth century. He reviews the archaeological and historical evidence for Iron Age identities. The book provoked lively debate about Celtic identity and its modern uses.
