The Celtic Consciousness, which ranges from prehistoric to modern times, contains fifty-five essays written by leading authorities on the Celtic world. Employing a diversity of scholarly approaches,... This description may be from another edition of this product.
A massive volume full of papers presented at a Celtic symposium in Canada. Since they were written by different authors on a wide-range of subjects, the content and styles vary from article to article. So you are not going to sit down and plow through this one like a novel. The breadth is wide but not the depth and there is always something to find that is interesting and thought-provoking, even when you don't agree with the author. It may be a little too green for most tastes, but there's no denying that it's a terrific resource.

I teach celtic shamanism classes and this book is an excellent resource for understanding the Celtic mind. With essays on the historical archaeological, mythological, literature, religion, art, music, politics, and the psychological it is an exhaustive and fascinating account of the celts from pre-historic times to the present. I find this to be an invaluable resource for my students.
