Product Description

Product Description

For a long time the Picts were known almost entirely from their mysterious symbol stones, which scholars have tried to interpret and date. Many problems remain unsolved concerning their links with the Scots. This account presents the latest archaeological discoveries and discusses the relationship between these two peoples, tracing their development from raids on Roman Britain to the formation of rival Dark Age kingdoms that produced a unique artistic inheritance.

2.0 out of 5 stars Short, readable, outdated, 7 Feb 2006
By A Customer
In recent years there has been a great deal of work done on the Picts and the Scots, but you won't learn anything about that work here. There's nothing much wrong with the book, it is short and readable, but it is seriously outdated. The consensus of opinion on many questions has changed a great deal since the early 1990s, and much that was taken for granted is now rejected or questioned.

If brought up to date, this would be an excellent introduction. For a more up-to-date picture, and much more information on the subject, the latest edition of Sally Foster's Picts, Gaels and Scots is worth considering.

2.0 out of 5 stars Disappointing, 14 Mar 2005
By A Customer
This review is from: The Picts and the Scots (Paperback)
This is a well researched book which is slightly let down by bland and dry writing style. There are also quite a lot of typographic errors which detract from the reading experience.

It should also be noted that the book is in fact only 150 pages, not 256 as currently listed on Amazon.
