Celtic Identity and the British Imageexplores the idea of the Celt and definition of the so-called 'Celtic Fringe' over the last 300 years. It is the only in-depth study of the literary and cultural representation of Ireland, Scotland, and Wales over this period, and is based on an extremely wide-ranging grasp of issues of national identity and state formation. The idea of the Celt and Celticism is once again highly fashionable.
