The Pagan Religions of the Ancient British Isles
''The Pagan Religions of the Ancient British Isles: Their Nature and Legacy'' is a book of religious history and archaeology written by the English historian Ronald Hutton, first published by Blackwell in 1991. It was the first published synthesis of the entirety of pre-Christian religion in the British Isles, dealing with the subject during the Palaeolithic, Neolithic, Bronze Age, Iron Age, Roman occupation and Anglo-Saxon period. It then proceeds to make a brief examination of their influence on folklore and contemporary Paganism.
In keeping with what was by then the prevailing academic view, it disputed the widely held idea that ancient paganism had survived into the contemporary and had been revived by the Pagan movement. In turn, it proved somewhat controversial among some sectors of the Pagan community, with two prominent members of the Goddess movement, Asphodel Long and Max Dashu publishing criticisms of it.
==Background==
Hutton was born at Ootacamund in India to a colonial family,〔Hutton 1991. p. dust jacket.〕 and is of part-Russian ancestry.〔Hutton, Ronald (Dec 1998). "Roots and rituals". ''History Today'' 48 (12): 62–63. .〕 Upon arriving in England, he attended Ilford County High School, whilst becoming greatly interested in archaeology, joining the committee of a local archaeological group and taking part in excavations from 1965 to 1976, including at such sites as Pilsdon Pen hill fort, Ascott-under-Wychwood long barrow, Hen Domen castle and a temple on Malta. Meanwhile, during the period between 1966 and 1969, he visited "every prehistoric chambered tomb surviving in England and Wales, and wrote a guide to them, for myself () and friends."〔Hutton 2009. pp. xii–xiii.〕 Despite his love of archaeology, he instead decided to study history at university, believing that he had "probably more aptitude" for it. He won a scholarship to study at Pembroke College, Cambridge, where he continued his interest in archaeology alongside history, in 1975 taking a course run by the university's archaeologist Glyn Daniel, an expert on the Neolithic.〔 From Cambridge, he went on to study at Oxford University, where he held a fellowship at Magdalen College.〔
In 1981, Hutton moved to the University of Bristol where he took up the position of reader of History. In that year he also published his first book, ''The Royalist War Effort 1642–1646'', and followed it with three more books on 17th century British history by 1990.
