Pictish studies is undergoing significant revision and invigoration, with recent archaeological discoveries and new methodologies in archaeology, cultural geography and art history prompting a re-assessment of Pictish cultural and social development. We can now say more about the cultural and political lives of the Picts than ever before, and these new findings are enabling a fresh perspective on the wider development of Early Medieval polities across the Latin west. This short book provides an exciting and informed synthesis of our current understanding of Pictish history and material remains.

“<I>The Picts Re-imagined</I> is an exciting and very learned short synthesis that deftly covers the text-historical, art-historical and archaeological elements of the field of Pictish studies to produce a compelling, responsible and very useful overview of the historical group under review. Its engagement with the most current—and in some cases ongoing—work in the field makes the book an important landmark in the development of our understanding of the Picts, notwithstanding the limits imposed by its concise remit. The book is very intelligently and creatively organized, with the result that each topic and theme is discussed in an order that is at once logical and informative. It is an impressive achievement, for which the author deserves a great deal of credit." -- James E. Fraser, University of Guelph
