The term 'Dark Ages' was coined to describe a period which was seen as a period of anarchy and violence, following the collapse of civilisation. Recent discoveries by archaeologists and historians have, however, radically altered this traditional view of the Dark Ages, and the period is now seen as one of innovation and dynamic social evolution. This book reconsiders a number of traditionally accepted views. It argues, for example, that the debt of the Dark Age Celts to Rome was enormous, even in areas such as Ireland that were never occupied by Roman invaders. It also discusses the traditional chronology suggesting that the date of 'AD 400' usually taken as the start of the 'early Christian period in Britain and Ireland now has comparatively little meaning. Once this conventional framework is removed, it is possible to show how the Celtic world of the Dark Ages took shape under Roman influence in the centuries between about 200 to 800, and looked to Rome even for the immediate inspiration for its art. Such questions as the extent of British (that is, Celtic) survival in pagan Saxon England, and the Celtic and Roman contribution to early England are considered.

The Celts are commonly considered to be one of the great peoples of Europe, with continuous racial, cultural and linguistic genealogy from the Iron Age to the modern-day 'Celtic fringe'. This book shows, in contrast, that the Celts, as they have been known and understood over two thousand years, are simply the 'other' of the dominant cultural and political traditions of Europe. It is this continuous 'otherness' which lends them apparent continuity and substance.

The Celtic record is fragmented both in terms of an historical sense and geographically. Modern Celts often keep this spirit of fragmentation. It is a grand misdeed to see these nations apart; it was not the case many centuries ago. It is also a great shame Celts fought for different masters during the Hundred Years War, Waterloo, the American Civil War, and more recently, in the Hibernian Gaelic fights. They fought each other for political and religious reasons, ignoring their common blood.This book attempts to reduce the confusion which currently exists on the Celtic civilisation and hopes to show where common roots existed from the start of their migration westward in 800 BC, through to 700 BC. Times for coming together are here again; cultural rapprochements are blossoming. It matters not if some of them remain under tutelage of their past conquerors. They know the spirituality, which is theirs, will never die.

By the waning of Roman rule, Britain was called a "province fertile with tyrants". Christopher Snyder's history of Britain during the two centuries after Rome's withdrawal reveals a hybrid society of Celtic, Roman, and Christian elements and documents the transition from magisterial to monarchical power. An appendix explores the Arthur and Merlin myths. 30 illustrations.

Celtic Britain (1979) traces the history of the Celts and Celtic culture from the arrival of the first scattered groups of settlers in Britain in the seventh century BC to the development of the kingdoms of medieval Scotland and Wales. Although a Celtic culture continued to flourish independently throughout the Roman and Saxon periods, influences from outside began to permeate Celtic society, particularly that of Christianity.
