Explore how Ireland’s past has shaped its people and culture. This work clarifies what counts as Celtic identity—language, not race—offering a clear lens on Irish history.

Delving into early Celtic connections, kinship, and the making of Gaelic Ireland, the book traces how ancient ideas about race and language influenced later scholarship. It presents a grounded look at the rise of kingdoms, dynasties, and the social structures that shaped medieval Ireland, using careful evidence from genealogies, chronicles, and literary sources.

Learn why language defines Celtic identity more than physical traits.

See how early rulers and dynasties shaped territorial borders and power.

Understand the role of scholars and editors in reconstructing Ireland’s ancient past.

Get a grounded overview of Irish history from the pre-Christian era through early medieval developments.

Ideal for readers curious about Irish history, archaeology, and the origins of Gaelic culture.

Pr�sentation de l'�diteur

FOREWORD The twelve chapters in this volume, delivered as lectures before public audiences in Dublin, make no pretence to form a full course of Irish history for any period. Their purpose is to correct and supplement. For the standpoint taken, no apology is necessary. Neither apathy nor antipathy can ever bring out the truth of history. I have been guilty of some inconsistency in my spelling of early Irish names, writing sometimes earlier, sometimes later forms. In the Index, I have endeavoured to remedy this defect. Since these chapters presume the reader's acquaintance with some general presentation of Irish history, they may be read, for the pre-Christian period, with Keating's account, for the Christian period, with any handbook of Irish history in print. EOIN MACNEILL.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book, written by a renowned historian, explores the ancient Irish, a Celtic people. The author argues that for centuries, scholars have misunderstood the true origins of the Irish. The erroneous belief was that the Irish were descended from the Scythians, a nomadic people from the steppes of Central Asia. However, through a close examination of Irish texts and a comprehensive analysis of archaeological and historical evidence, the author reveals that the Irish are indeed Celts, originating in Central Europe. The author delves into the rich tapestry of the Irish language, revealing its linguistic kinship with other Celtic tongues. Furthermore, the book sheds light on the complex relationship between the Irish and the Britons, examining their cultural and linguistic affinities while also highlighting the nuances that set them apart. This insightful work challenges long-held assumptions about the Irish and offers a fresh perspective on their enigmatic origins. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. N� de r�f. du vendeur 9781330945643_0
