The Celts: Mythology That Shaped Our Consciousness
19.99 €
A fresh and candid look at the stories behind Celtic mythology. The book explores their influence on culture throughout history right up to the present day.

Since the tales and legends were first recorded in the Middle Ages (and at that time they were already hundreds of years old!), authors and artists from all over the world have used mythical imagery in their subsequent works. How is it that they are so familiar to us, even though they come from a world separated from us by centuries and so different from our own? How did King Arthur, first mentioned in the early Welsh chronicles, paradoxically become a typical English hero?

Oxford lecturer and medievalist Mark Williams explores the roots of the legends and their heroes who have had the greatest cultural impact and left their mark on both the modern fantasy genre and the culture at large.
