2015 Brill hardcover edition. Light reading wear else very good condition. From the cover: 'Celtic' and 'Gothic': both words refer today to both ancient tribes and modern styles. 'Celtic' is associated with harp music, native knitwear, and spirituality; 'Gothic' with medieval cathedrals, rock bands, and horror fiction. The eleven essays collected together here chart some of the curious and unexpected ways in which the Celts and the Goths were appropriated and reinvented in Britain and other European countries through the eighteenth, nineteenth, and twentieth centuries - becoming not just mythologised races, but lending their names to abstract principles and entire value systems. Contributed by experts in literature, archaeology, history, and Celtic studies, the essays range from broad surveys to specific case-studies, and together demonstrate the complicated interplay that has always existed between 'Celticism' and 'Gothicism'. Contents: (1) Myths of Celtic and Gothic Origin: An Introduction by Joanne Parker, (2) Tribal Ancestors and Moral Role Patterns by Joep Leerssen, (3) Eighteenth-Century Gothic before The Castle of Otranto by Nick Groom, (4) Johnson and the Teutonic Roots of English by Robert DeMaria, Jr., (5) Wordsworth's Gothic Education by Tom Duggett, (6) A Tale of Two Kings: The 'Celtic' Arthur and the 'Gothic' Alfred by Joanne Parker, (7) The Rediscovery of the British Druids by Ronald Hutton, (8) Ossianism and the Arthurian Revival: The Case of Richard Hole's Arthur; or the Northern Enchantment (1789) by Dafydd Moore, (9) Strange Meetings: the Romantic Poets and the Stone Circles of the Lake District by Tim Fulford, (10) Reigning with Swords of Meteoric Iron: Archangel Michael and the British New Jerusalem by Amy Hale, (11) From Pondal (1835-1917) to Cabanillas (1876-1956): Ossian and Arthur in the Making of a Celtic Galicia by Juan Miguel Zarandona, (12) The Role of Alesia, Bibracte and Gergovia in the Mythology of the French State by John Collis.…
