CELTOMANIA

Оглавление

There has been a surge of renewed enthusiasm for all things Celtic in modern times. It began in the early eighteenth century with the awareness that there were links between the ancient languages of the Atlantic Celts, and intensified with the growing awareness that these languages were in retreat.

The surge of interest in tartan and Celtic art in the nineteenth century and Celtic music in the twentieth century were further symptoms of Celtomania. There has recently been a political dimension too, as people have become aware that peripheral regions of Europe could lose their cultural identity as the hub of the European Union develops and strengthens (see Part 6: Celtic Twilight and Revival).
