Did they really belong to Jimi Hendrix? Urban legends are the funny, frightening and fierce folklore people share.

Book Synopsis The Legend of Spring-heeled Jack by : Karl Bell
Download or read book The Legend of Spring-heeled Jack written by Karl Bell and published by Boydell Press. This book was released on 2012 with total page 274 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An intriguing study of a unique and unsettling cultural phenomenon in Victorian England. WINNER of the 2013 Katharine Briggs Award NEW LOWER PRICE This book uses the nineteenth-century legend of Spring-Heeled Jack to analyse and challenge current notions of Victorian popular cultures. Starting as oral rumours, this supposedly supernatural entity moved from rural folklore to metropolitan press sensation, co-existing in literary and theatrical forms before finally degenerating into a nursery lore bogeyman to frighten children. A mercurial and unfixed cultural phenomenon, Spring-Heeled Jack found purchase in both older folkloric traditions and emerging forms of entertainment. Through this intriguing study of a unique and unsettling figure, Karl Bell complicates our appreciation of the differences, interactions and similarities between various types of popular culture between 1837 and 1904. The book draws upon a rich variety of primary source material including folklorist accounts, street ballads, several series of "penny dreadful" stories (and illustrations), journals, magazines, newspapers, comics, court accounts, autobiographies and published reminiscences. The Legend of Spring-Heeled Jack is impressively researched social history and provides a fascinating insight into Victorian cultures. It will appeal to anyone with an interest in nineteenth-century English social and cultural history, folklore or literature. Karl Bell is Senior Lecturer in History at the University of Portsmouth.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: He's a legendary rugby player who sacrificed everything for his game. Eighteen years ago, Ash Trenton chose his career over love and became one of the world's greatest rugby players. Now he's retiring at the top of his game and has no clue what to do with his life. But when his first and only love returns, begging for his help, is he ready to tackle the hardest thing he’ll ever do? When Camila Morales inherited her dad's camp in Southern California, she also inherited a mountain of debt. Winning a big cash prize in a rugby tournament is her only hope to save the camp. But that means asking for help from the man who let her down spectacularly when he left her heartbroken eighteen years ago. Relying on Ash is the last thing she wants to do. And reigniting old flames is not going to happen. Definitely not. Ash never dreamed he’d be coaching troubled teens. And falling for Camila all over again was definitely not in his plans. When he is offered his dream job and given a second chance at first love, will he once again choose his career, or the one woman who tamed the heart of a legend? “Latham has a knack for creating characters who will linger on your brain long after her charming stories end, and our sizzling-hot hero, Ash, will probably stay forever...
