Double-weighted statement
This is a monograph of 280,000 words,which covers the different ways in which the image of the ancient Druid has been reworked in British culture since 1500. It depends entirely on primary sources of many different kinds to show the very diverse employments of the image in poetry, plays, histories, political literature and the formation of social, cultural, political and religious societies. Nothing like it in terms of scale and depth has been attempted before
