Celtic Fringe is a term that has been traditionally used to describe those parts of the Atlantic Archipelago (not the British Isles, please) that appear to form a ‘leftover’ non-English part of a dead branch of the peoples who once populated these islands.
The histories of these peoples is largely ‘unwritten’, mainly because they lack a Bede of England or an Anglo-Saxon chronicler. Their histories are oral, surviving in myths, fairy tales, legends, songs and word of mouth passed from one generation to the next.
The term Celtic Fringe is derogatory. This course will attempt to right that error.
