| Summary |
"Keltische Mythen en Legenden" by T. W. Rolleston is a scholarly work written in the early 20th century. The book delves into the rich tapestry of Celtic mythology and legends, shedding light on their historical and cultural significance, particularly in the context of the British Isles. It aims to explore the contributions of Celtic narratives to the broader scope of European culture and understanding. The opening of the book serves as an introduction to the significance of the Celtic race and its underappreciated historical role. The author discusses the formative elements of the Celtic identity, emphasizing that the name "Anglo-Saxon" inaccurately represents the British people, who are more accurately described as "Anglo-Celtic." The text reflects on how the Celtic heritage weaves into the history, religion, literature, and art of the British Isles, setting the stage for a deeper exploration of the myths, invading populations, and key figures from Celtic tradition. This opening lays a foundation for the subsequent chapters, which promise to provide insight into famous stories and legendary characters, framing them within their historical contexts.
