Book Synopsis County Folklore, Vol. 5 (Classic Reprint) by : Folklore Society
Download or read book County Folklore, Vol. 5 (Classic Reprint) written by Folklore Society and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-03-02 with total page 464 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from County Folklore, Vol. 5 Judging by the sheaf of extracts contained in the following pages, and by my own gleanings in Lindsey during the past twenty years, it seems to me that the only striking characteristic of Lincolnshire folk-lore is its lack of originality. Nearly every superstition and custom of the county appears to be a local variant of something already familiarly known in other parts of the British Islands, or beyond their limits. The curious Haxey game, known as 'throwing the Hood, ' has, for instance, an evident relationship with Cornish 'hurling' and East Anglian 'camping, ' not to speak of several archaic forms of foot-ball, or of those foreign sports, European, Asiatic, and American, to which it bears a close resemblance. Even the mediaeval traditions relating to the saints once famous between the Humber and the Welland have close affinity with other pious legends.

Even the mediaeval traditions relating to the saints once famous between the Humber and the Welland have close affinity with other pious legends. St. Guthlac and St. Botulph were not the only hermits harassed by evil spirits; though it is likely that fen-demons may have been particularly trying to holy ascetics, whose nerves were already disordered by the agues of a watery country, and the weird clamour of innumerable wild-fowl.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Tales From "Blackwood," Vol. 5: Being the Most Famous Series of Stories Ever Published HE death, last autumn, of a distant relation of the writer, leaves him free to publish the curious facts which are noted below. He has known them long, and ofien wished that, in these days when phenomena which were formerly termed super natural are submitted to scientific and patient investigation, instead of being superoiliously dis missed or weakly shuddered at, they might receive the attention of persons qualified to weigh and utilise, or possibly to explain them. But the wit nesses felt a great - it ought, perhaps, to be said, a morbid - objection to the discussion of the story outside the family circle, and thus it has been kept.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Folk-Lore: Old Customs and Tales of My Neighbours It is not nearly so easy to get authentic informa tion as many people suppose. The great difficulty, as in so many other affairs, is to get at the truth. There are few who say they believe in ghosts, but we must needs beware how we write of haunted houses. A gentleman who gave me permission to write what I liked of his house, which was reputed to be haunted, sent a man-servant down in haste with a note, saying his wife would not allow such a thing to be mentioned on any account.

Book Synopsis County Folklore by : Folklore Society
Download or read book County Folklore written by Folklore Society and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-06-14 with total page 295 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from County Folklore, Vol. 3 The material for the following pages was brought together some years ago by Mr. G. F. Black, and would have been passed through the press by him but for his absence from England. Mr. Black having gone to reside in the United States since he placed his collections in the hands of the Council for publication, the Society is indebted to Mr. N. W. Thomas for undertaking the duty of editing the MSS., as well as for some additional matter, and for the care he has bestowed on the whole work. The Council desire to express their thanks to the compilers of the volume, to Mr. Gilbert Goudie, Mr. A. K. Williamson, and the Rev. Thomas Mathewson, for notes communicated to Mr. Black, and to those owners of copyright works who have permitted extracts therefrom to appear in the ensuing pages. It may perhaps be well to remind members of the scope and object of the series of County Folklore volumes; namely, to bring together in an accessible form the scattered notices of local folklore which occur in local records, old topographies, travellers' diaries, miscellaneous periodicals, and other such out-of-the-way sources. It is designed to form a record of the past, not a description of the present. Hence information from oral or modern sources is only exceptionally used or quoted in its pages.
