Pan-celtic Nationalism at the Fin de Siècle

It attempts to answer the questions of who comprised the organization, what were the aims of the Association, and what role did this society play in the development of national identity and nationalism in each respective geographic region. It also explores the role of the Celtic Association within the broader themes of pan-Celticism and places the organization within the history of pan-Celtic and antiquarian societies as well as the pan-nationalist movements of the fin de siècle.
