"Romano-Celtic Art in Northumbria" 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 "The Principles of
Art" (1938) and "The Idea of History" (1946). Other notable works by
this author include: "Religion and Philosophy" (1916), "Roman Britain"
(1923), and "Speculum Mentis" (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.
