Gaelic culture is famous all over the world - but what is it? This book is an engaging view of the story of music, language and the arts in Ireland from prehistory to the present day.
The book is a lively journey through ancient and modern Irish culture. It covers
- the rich native tradition that existed in preChristian times
- the coming of Christianity in the fifth century
- IIreland's 'Golden Age' of art and literature
- the nineteenth-century Celtic revival
- the place of Irish writing in the English language
- how traditional dance has been modernised to create phenomena such as Riverdance and why this is so popular.
