New Directions in Celtic Studies
Editorial Reviews
Book Description
‘ This book will serve as an essential reference for the serious student as well as being of interest to the reader with an interest in Celtic culture generally. Highly commended.' - Journal of the Cornish Forefathers Society
The primary aim of New Directions in Celtic Studies is to focus on contemporary issues and to promote interdisciplinary approaches within the subject. Written by international scholars and practitioners in fields such as folklore, ethnomusicology, art history, religious studies, tourism and education, the book brings together in one volume a wide range of perspectives. It responds to the recent questioning of the viability of the notion of 'Celticity' and the idea of Celtic Studies as a discipline and points to a renewed vitality in the subject. New Directions in Celtic Studies is divided into four sections: popular culture and representation; commodities and Celtic lifestyles; contemporary Celtic identity and the Celtic diaspora; Celtic praxis. This volume will make an excellent textbook for courses in Celtic and ethnic history, folklore and ethnography.
