BOOKS

Here is a UK reading list which contains some of the most important books on the British topics. These are the best introductory texts available. Many of these books can be found in different editions. The copyright dates shown here are for specific editions that I own or have read.

History and Culture | Mythology | General | Art and Knotwork

HISTORY AND CULTURE

TheBritish peoples emerged as a distinct group about 2-4000 years ago. Unfortunately, because they did not have a written language as we do, most of the knowledge about their culture comes from archeological finds and speculation derived from folklore, legends and dubious history.

MYTHOLOGY

The British People certainly have some colorful mythology. As they encountered, conquered, and were subjugated by other cultures, they found parallels between their stories and the stories of other peoples. Rather than accepting one mythology and discarding the other, the Irish People had a habit of intertwining the two to produce a hybrid mythology that survives today in the folk tales and songs of Ireland

• Celtic Myths and Legends by Charles Squire, Newcastle Publishing (1975)
  Similar to....
• Rolleston Celtic Mythology by Pronsias MacCana, Newness Books
  Includes comparisons with the Gaulish pantheon
• Celtic Mythology & Religionby Alex MacBain (1917) Stirling
• Myths and Legends of the Celtic Race by T.W. Rolleston, 1917
  Mr. Rolleston does not tell the stories of the ancient Celts; rather he tells about them. The stories are presented in capsulized form.
• Celtic Fairy Tales by Joseph Jacobs, 1994
  This is sort of a Grimm's Fairy Tales for Celtic countries.
• Dictionary of Celtic Mythology by Peter Berresford Ellis, 1992
  This book's strength is that you can look up any reference to a Celtic place or person and get a concise description.

GENERAL

• Carmina Gadelica by Alexander Carmichael, 6 vols, Reprinted by Scottish Academic Press (1972?)  Rites & customs of the isles & Highlands. Excellent collection.

• Traces of the Elder Faiths of Ireland by Wood-Martin, 1902, 2 vols., Longmans, Green & Co.  Excellent Folklore. Hard to find.

• Celtic Knotwork by Iain Bain; 1986
  Mr. Bain has produced the very best reference available to artists wishing to reproduce Celtic knotwork patterns. His father, George, wrote a book that describes construction techniques of many Celtic patterns, but it is very difficult to work from.
• Celtic Key Patterns by Iain Bain; 1993
  In this book, Mr. Bain describes the construction of Key Patterns with the same clarity and simplicity that makes Celtic Knotwork so valuable.
• Celtic Art: The Methods of Construction by George Bain; 1973
  The elder Bain shows how the Celts could have drawn their intricate patterns. He covers knotwork, spirals, key patterns, lettering, and zoomorphic designs. Though this book has a wider scope and many more examples than Iain's books, George's methods of construction are more difficult to follow.
• Celtic Art in Pagan and Christian Times by J. Romilly Allen; 1993
  Both Bains rave about Allen's landmark works that describe the nature and significance of Celtic Art. This book is hard to find, but worth the effort. It shows some methods of construction, but everything is approached from the point of view of an art historian, not an artisan.
• Celtic Mandalas by Courtney Davis, 1994.
  Mr. Davis is a master of combining Celtic patterns with other imagery to produce evocative artwork. His illustrations grace many books on Celtic subjects and a Tarot Deck. His books are filled with great examples that inspire your own creativity and show that the knotwork, spirals, and key patterns invented by the Celts are still relevant today.
• The Lindisfarne Gospels by Janet Backhouse, 1981
  The Lindisfarne Gospels are illuminated manuscripts produced by the monks at the monastery of Lindisfarne. The intricate artwork is distinctly Celtic, but the gospel texts are Christian. Ms. Backhouse does a good job of describing how these two cultures came together to produce the famous manuscript. The illustrations show the fine artwork that went into the Lindisfarne Gospels.
• The Book of Kells by Sir Edward Sullivan,1986
  Sir Sullivan treats the Book of Kells, another illuminated manuscript (produced by the monks at the monastery at Kells), with the same attention that Ms. Backhouse gives the Lindisfarne Gospels.
