"Essential
for anyone studying Celtic traditions." —Bookwatch
The
entire spectrum of Celtic Art is revealed in this exhaustive and vibrant
survey: from the rich treasures found throughout Iron Age Europe; to
the flowering of metalwork, sculpture and manuscript illumination during
the Dark Ages; to the revivals and "druidomania" that carry the story
to the present. The authors show how the diverse traditions and strands
of development interweave to create the magnificent works we term Celtic
Art.
