Module code: SG110
Credits: 5
Semester: 2
Department: EARLY IRISH (SEAN-GHAEILGE)

Overview Overview
 

A series of lectures on Celtic History will introduce students to the primary sources for, and historiographical approaches to, the history of the Celtic-speaking peoples from antiquity to the late Middle Ages. Through a combination of geographically-defined lectures (on the Continental Celts, Picts, Britons and Gaels) and thematic lectures (on social organisation, religion, and economic history), students will gain a basic familiarity with the chronology of Celtic history and the major sources and scholarly debates.
The second thematic cluster is an overview of the Celtic languages from antiquity to the present, focussing on their external history, their modes of transmission and their most salient linguistic characteristics, and linking the development and fate of the Celtic languages with the historical development of their speech communities. No previous knowledge of a Celtic language is required.
