Myths and Legends of the Celtic Race - Rolleston T. W.

First published in 1911-this is a replica of the 1917 second edition-this classic work is considered by many the best work on the spiritual and mythological history of the Celtic peoples. Rolleston, a seminal scholar in the literature, explores: • the Celts in ancient history • the religion of the Celts • the Irish invasion myths • the early Milesian kings • tales of the Ultonian cycle • tales of the Ossianic cycle • and much more. Anyone intrigued by the history and culture of Britain, Ireland, and Wales should consider this essential reading. Irish writer and editor THOMAS WILLIAM HAZEN ROLLESTON (1857-1920) published some 168 books, including *Poems and Ballads of Young Ireland* (1888), *Life of Lessing* (1889), and *The High Deeds of Finn Mac Cumhail* (1910).
