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

Description

Myths and Legends of the Celtic Race is a book by T. W. Rolleston, first published in 1911. This comprehensive work offers a vivid retelling of the mythological cycles of the Celtic peoples, including the Irish, Welsh, and continental Celts. Drawing on both ancient texts and oral traditions, it presents the heroic sagas of Cuchulainn and the Red Branch, the mystical tales of the Tuatha Dé Danann, and the Arthurian legends that shaped much of Britain's medieval lore. Rolleston approaches his subject with both literary flair and scholarly insight, weaving together mythology, folklore, and cultural history to trace the spiritual and imaginative landscape of the Celtic world. The book played a significant role in the Celtic Revival movement of the late 19th and early 20th centuries, reflecting the era’s fascination with national identity and ancient heritage. T. W. Rolleston, an Irish writer and translator, was closely associated with figures of the Irish Literary Revival and brought both poetic sensibility and intellectual depth to this enduring volume.
