Abstract

It is remarkable how enjoyable Celtic/neo-Celtic tales prove to be to literary study groups. This is especially so in ‘Celtic Country’, when reading groups acquire a taste for such texts—doubtless because of the enduring motifs, the engagement with nature, and because they are put in touch with the considerable Celtic strand in Australian (rural) society. Further, these texts inspire a measure of ‘neo-Celtic’ writing.
