	Celt - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Today, "Celtic" is often used to describe the languages and respective cultures of Ireland, Wales, Scotland, Cornwall, the Isle of Man and the French region of Brittany, but correctly corresponds to the Celtic language family in which are still spoken Scottish, Irish and Manx (Gaelic languages) and Welsh, Breton and Cornish (Brythonic languages).
		The Celtic language family is a branch of the larger Indo-European family, which leads some scholars to a hypothesis that the original speakers of the Celtic proto-language may have arisen in the Pontic-Caspian steppes (see Kurgan).
		A century later the defeat of the combined Samnite, Celtic and Etruscan alliance by the Romans in the Third Samnite War sounded the end of the Celtic domination in Europe, but it was not until 192 BC that the Roman armies conquered the last remaining independent Celtic kingdoms in Italy.

	Celtic
		Celtic spirituality has become popular for its connection between life, earth and faith, and is part of a wider revival of Celtic culture which includes Irish pubs and dancing and some aspects of New Age spirituality, as well as orthodox Christianity.
		In Celtic faith there is a sense of the beautiful and the poetic, of sacred space and the sacredness of space, of the earthly human and the reality of spiritual power.
		Of course in the Christian Celtic revival, romantic idealisation and history are in tension, and the realities which gave birth to art, poetry and a sense of the presence of Christ in all things were often pretty grim.

	Saving Celtic Spirituality - Christianity Today Magazine
		Rooted in these years of Celtic Christian culture's isolation is its uniqueness, its mystery, and its apparently endless appeal to citizens of another chaotic (and perhaps collapsing) civilization, a millennium and a half later.
		The intense interest today in Celtic spirituality is based on the belief that in those centuries of isolation, Celtic Christians developed a culture that was in many respects closer to the early church, and to "true Christianity," than any of the forms of institutionalized Christianity that replaced it.
		Celtic legend is the strongest single source in the current neopagan revival, and ardent neopagans find it difficult to acknowledge that the fullest flowering of Celtic culture was undoubtedly in Celtic Christianity.

	MODERNISM & THE CELTIC REVIVAL (Adobe Reader) Castle, Gregory Diesel eBooks
		In Modernism and the Celtic Revival, Gregory Castle examines the impact of anthropology on the work of Irish Revivalists such as W. Yeats, John M. Synge and James Joyce.
		Castle argues that anthropology enabled Irish Revivalists to confront and combat British imperialism, even as these Irish writers remained ambivalently dependent on the cultural and political discourses they sought to undermine.
		Drawing on a wide range of post-colonial theory, this book should be of interest to scholars in Irish studies, post-colonial studies, and Modernism.
