A short history of one of Ancient Britain's most enigmatic civilisations A WATERSTONES BEST HISTORY BOOK OF 2022 Who were the Celts? They flit as ghosts through Europe's ancient past, purported ancestors of the Irish, Welsh, Scottish, Cornish and Bretons. Were they a people, a civilisation, an empire, or a fiction of historical imagination?
Simon Jenkins argues compellingly that the 'Celts' is a misleading concept, bundling together quite distinct peoples. Yet they have never been identified with any one land, or with any one history or language. The word keltoi first appears in Greek, applied generally to aliens or 'barbarians' - and theories of Celticism continue to fuel many of the prejudices and misconceptions that divide the British Isles to this day.
Fascinating and increasingly relevant, who the Celts were - or weren't - goes to the heart of the ongoing argument over the future of a dis-United Kingdom.
