On Furphies: what we really don't know about the 'Celts'

[la_marquise]

I have my professional hat on, today, over on the SF Novelists blog. I'm talking about the concept of 'Celts', the origin of myths about their history and the law around women. You can find the article here. You can comment here or there.

It sounds as if it will not make people like me at all unhappy, though.

Graves was hard to write critically about when he first wrote, though. He is so stylish and touched upon on the nice popular thoughts and gave them mythic value.

He reduced The Golden Bough to manageable size and incorporated ideas from Jung and the spiritualists. It's a fascinating book if considered as fiction. But only then.

I admit it's fascinating. I also admit that I own a copy.. but that I keep it with my fiction.
