More wide ranging; both geographically and chronologically; than any previous study; this well-illustrated book offers a new definition of Celtic art. Tempering the much-adopted art-historical approach; D.W. Harding argues for a broader definition of Celtic art and views it within a much wider archaeological context. He re-asserts ancient Celtic identity after a decade of deconstruction in English-language archaeology.Harding argues that there were communities in Iron Age Europe that were identified historically as Celts; regarded themselves as Celtic; or who spoke Celtic languages; and that the art of these communities may reasonably be regarded as Celtic art. This study will be indispensable for those people wanting to take a fresh and innovative perspective on Celtic Art.
