Anglicania Or England's Mission To The Celt

By John Birmingham

Book Overview

Anglicania: Or England's Mission to the Celt is a book written by John Birmingham in 1863. The book discusses the relationship between England and the Celtic nations, specifically Ireland, Scotland, and Wales. Birmingham argues that England has a duty to civilize and Christianize the Celtic peoples, and that this mission is part of England's divine destiny. He also discusses the history of the relationship between England and the Celts, including the conquest of Ireland and the suppression of the Scottish Highlands. The book is a reflection of the prevailing attitudes of the time towards imperialism and the belief in the superiority of the English race. It provides insight into the mindset of the Victorian era and the way in which the British saw themselves in relation to other cultures.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
