Celtic Studies covers enormous distances of space (Europe, Asia Minor, North and South America) and time, covering some 3000 years. Who were the Celts? Where were they? What language did they speak? What did their neighbours (Greeks, Etruscans, Iberians, Romans) say about them? This course gives an overview of Celtic Studies by looking at the history and culture of the Celts from earliest down to modern times and shall touch upon archaeology, Celtic inscriptions, the Classical world and aspects of the medieval Celtic Culture of Britain and Ireland as well as the modern Celtic heritage.
