- Abstract
The discussion deals with the book "Proceedings of the second European symposium in Celtic studies", edited by Raimund Karl and Katharina Möller. The book contains a selection of lectures that were held at the symposium in 2017 in Bangor. The topics range from language and literature to local archaeology. An article by Raimund Karl examines social changes in archaeological remains and argues that these changes mark the beginning of Celtic culture in the region. Other articles deal with linguistic topics such as the history of double inflection in Insular Celtic and the use of object pronouns in Old Irish. There is also an article on the interpretation of a Gallo-Latin inscription from Trier and an article on the research of Sir John Rhŷs on the Isle of Man. Finally, an article discusses the portrayal of "Celtic obsession" in modern English-language fantasy literature. The article covers various topics in the field of Celtic studies. Marcel Bubert examines the cultural independence of medieval Ireland compared to Europe and emphasizes the active role of recipients of cultural elements. Mary Leenane and Doris Edel analyze the biographical elements in the texts of the "Ulster Cycle" and the legal implications of the "Pillow Talk" between Medb and Ailill. James January-McCann discusses the perception of English and continental Catholicism in early modern Wales. The article demonstrates the diversity of interests among scholars in the field of Celtic studies and the significance of the texts of the "Ulster Cycle" for research.
