Samenvatting | English folklore is often regarded as impoverished in comparison with the customs and stories of Scotland, Wales, and Ireland, but this new dictionary shows the enormous variety and distinctive features of traditions and beliefs throughout England, as well as indicating links with broader British and European patterns. Folklore covers an extremely wide field, with connections to virtually every aspect of life, every part of the country, both urban and rural, and of every age group and occupation. It ranges from the bizarre to the seemingly mundane, and is as much a feature of the modern technological age as the ancient world. |
