Romano-Celtic Art in Northumbria Synopsis

"e;Romano-Celtic Art in Northumbria"e; is an essay by R. G. Collingwood on the subject of early British art, focusing on examples found in northern England. Romano-Celtic culture arose in Britain under the Roman Empire after the AD 43 Roman conquest. It began as a combination of Roman culture and that of the indigenous Britons, and lasted until the 5th century and the Roman departure from Britain. This volume is highly recommended for those with an interest in British history and culture, as well as the Roman influence thereon. Robin George Collingwood, FBA (1889 - 1943) was an English historian, philosopher, and archaeologist most famous for his philosophical works including "e;The Principles of Art"e; (1938) and "e;The Idea of History"e; (1946). Other notable works by this author include: "e;Religion and Philosophy"e; (1916), "e;Roman Britain"e; (1923), and "e;Speculum Mentis"e; (1924). Many vintage books such as this are increasingly scarce and expensive. It is with this in mind that we are republishing this volume now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition complete with a specially-commissioned new biography of the author.
