Lecturer: Professor Jennifer Paxton, Catholic University of America
In The Celtic World, discover the incredible story of the Celtic-speaking peoples, whose art, language, and culture once spread from Ireland to Austria. This series of 24 lectures explains the traditional historical view of who the Celts were, then contrasts it with brand-new evidence from DNA analysis and archeology that changes our perspective on where the Celts came from. European history and culture have been profoundly affected by the Celts, from the myth of King Arthur to the very map of the United Kingdom, where the English confronted the peoples of the “Celtic Fringe.”

COMMUNITY REVIEWS

Excellent Lectures submitted by timdufresne on July 12, 2018, 5:07pm I really didn't appreciate how much I had to learn about this topic until I dove into these lectures about the Celts. Great topic, well explored.
