Verlag: DigiCat
Beschreibung
In 'Myths & Legends of the Celtic Race', T.W. Rolleston provides a comprehensive account of the rich tapestry of Celtic mythology, chronicling the heritage and folklore of the Bretons, Cornish, Irish, Manx, Scots, and Welsh. With meticulous scholarly detail, the work delves into various facets of ancient Celtic life, beginning with historical perspectives and delving into the core religious beliefs that shaped the Celtic world. Each chapter, ranging from the Irish invasion myths to the tales of the Ultonian and Ossianic cycles, is presented in a narrative style that captures the oral tradition of storytelling, further emphasized by the analysis of iconic voyages such as that of Maeldun and the myths of the Cymry. The literary style of Rolleston elegantly consolidates complex material into a readable format, carefully contextualized within the broader scope of ancient European history and literature. Thomas William Hazen Rolleston was a pivotal figure in the Celtic Revival, and his profound interest in Celtic culture and mythology is strongly reflected in this seminal work. An Irish writer, poet, and mythographer, Rolleston's commitment to the Celtic literary movement brought him into contact with some of the period's most enduring figures. The influence of Romantics and the rich spiritual landscape of Ireland undoubtedly informed Rolleston's writing, infusing it with a passion for preserving the nuances and wisdom embedded in Celtic legends. It is through his diligent research and entrancing prose that readers gain a window into the world of the ancient Celts -- one that had previously been obscured by time and change. Recommended for both enthusiasts and scholars of Celtic history and folklore, 'Myths & Legends of the Celtic Race' stands as a cornerstone in Celtic studies. Rolleston's meticulous work offers insight not just into the mythical but also into the cultural DNA of the Celtic peoples. The book is a veritable treasure trove that navigates through the confluence of lore and history, exposing the reader to the profound knowledge and imagination of a people whose legends continue to enchant and inspire. For anyone drawn to the intersection of myth and identity, this volume is an essential addition to their literary collection.
