书籍简介

凯尔特人的历史是一部名不副实的历史。

从来没有一个独特的民族、种族或部落声称自己是凯尔特人，尽管在威尔士、爱尔兰、苏格兰和康沃尔等地仍有不同语言和文化的遗迹。凯尔特人这个词早期出现在希腊语中，一般适用于外国人或 "野蛮人"--而凯尔特人的理论至今仍在助长许多偏见和误解，使不列颠群岛的人民分化。

在《凯尔特人》中，西蒙-詹金斯常常被视为英国历史的不重要或不相关的附属品，他提出了一个令人信服的反驳。这是一场迷人而及时的辩论，讨论凯尔特人到底是谁--或者不是谁--以及他们在日益混乱的英国的遗产应该是什么。

The history of the Celts is the history of a misnomer.

There has never been a distinct people, race or tribe claiming the name of Celtic, though remnants of different languages and cultures remain throughout Wales, Ireland, Scotland and Cornwall. The word keltoi first appears in Greek as applied generally to aliens or 'barbarians'—and theories of Celticism continue to fuel many of the prejudices and misconceptions that divide the peoples of the British Isles to this day.

Often seen as unimportant or irrelevant adjuncts to English history, in The Celts Simon Jenkins offers a compelling counterargument. This is a fascinating and timely debate on who the Celts really were—or weren't—and what their legacy should be in an increasingly dis-United Kingdom.
