Replying to @HistoryWO @ISASaxonists
I vaguely recall a BBC(?) Radio Feature that spoke of historical rhythms of how the British framed their past. Was there a Celtic phase some time in the 1800s?

As far as I recall, the dichotomy between the “Germanic” and “Celtic” was common even in the 19thc. Much of it was caught up in nationalism between Britain and Ireland in particular.

Yes, I'm fairly certain that's how things played out but both words were common in the 19th century. Thanks again for jumping in and saving my mentions,
