Opis

There has been an upsurge of interest in all things Celtic, providing a renewed impetus and vigour to Celtic culture and politics. At the same time, there has been an increased questioning of the exact nature of the Celtic concept. This title illuminates the dynamic nature of Celticity and Celtic geography, by exploring the many ways in which an old culture is being re-interpreted, to serve the needs of particular groups of people, in certain places, in modern times.

Recenzje

The culture of the book in the Scottish Enlightenment is a fitting testimony to the richness of the eighteenth century Scottish book trade that is explored in insightful case studies. - Luc Racaut, University of Glasgow for Scottish Studies Review
