Celtic Civilisation is a subject for those with a passion for Ireland’s rich cultural heritage and fascinating legends, for the history of the Celtic peoples of Europe, for Ireland’s longstanding contacts with neighbouring traditions, for the dynamics and ideology of medieval Irish society, and for how Ireland assimilated European culture while in turn influencing it. In the lectures you will follow the Celtic peoples from central Europe to Ireland, and from the early Iron Age into the Middle Ages; you will learn about topics such as Celtic literature, history, mythology, languages, laws and spirituality. As you progress, you are encouraged to develop your skills in analysing the sources and in expressing your ideas. Those taking courses in related subjects such as Irish history, archaeology, folklore, or Irish language and literature will find Celtic Civilisation complements their studies in these areas.
