Celts, Romans, Britons: Classical and Celtic Influence in the Construction of British Identities: Classical Presences

Editat de Francesca Kaminski-Jones, Rhys Kaminski-Jones
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 29 sep 2020
This interdisciplinary volume of essays examines the real and imagined role of Classical and Celtic influence in the history of British identity formation, from late antiquity to the present day. In so doing, it makes the case for increased collaboration between the fields of Classical reception and Celtic studies, and opens up new avenues of investigation into the categories Celtic and Classical, which are presented as fundamentally interlinked and frequently interdependent. In a series of chronologically arranged chapters, beginning with the post-Roman Britons and ending with the 2016 Brexit referendum, it draws attention to the constructed and historically contingent nature of the Classical and the Celtic, and explores how notions related to both categories have been continuously combined and contrasted with one another in relation to British identities. Britishness is revealed as a site of significant Celtic-Classical cross-pollination, and a context in which received ideas about Celts, Romans, and Britons can be fruitfully reconsidered, subverted, and reformulated. Responding to important scholarly questions that are best addressed by this interdisciplinary approach, and extending the existing literature on Classical reception and national identity by treating the Celtic as an equally relevant tradition, the volume creates a new and exciting dialogue between subjects that all too often are treated in isolation, and sets the foundations for future cross-disciplinary conversations.

For a deep dive into this subject, the reader should look no further than Francesca and Rhys Kaminski-Jones's volume Celts, Romans, Britons. This book operates on the rugged intersection between Celtic and classical reception studies, encouraging interdisciplinary collaboration in a hybrid field that requires a high degree of interdisciplinary expertise.
