Download or read book The Folklore of Orkney and Shetland written by Ernest Marwick and published by Birlinn Ltd. This book was released on 2020-05-07 with total page 170 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The two island groups of Orkney and Shetland have much in common. In each the grey stone houses and treeless landscapes are scoured in winter by stinging gales, and in summer lie under the endless days of the 'simmer din'. Originally Norwegian, they have been part of Scotland for five hundred years, but their many and varied legends, folk tales and customs are still saturated with Norse influences. While this book tells tales and discusses beliefs that are known throughout the northern isles, it also outlines those elements which are unique to each island group. The Folklore of Orkney and Shetland is the standard account of what to this day is one of the richest repositories of lore and custom in Britain. Ernest Marwick not only recounts countless tales which have been transmitted aurally and by writing, but also places these tales within geographical and historical contexts, thus enabling a deeper appreciation of this wonderful material. A bibliography is also included, together with an index of tale types and motifs.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Shetland Fireside Tales: Or the Hermit of Trosswickness The Author of the following pages spent the earlier and happier years of his life amongst the peasant youth of his native islands, sharing with them the perils and pleasures of their daring and manly sports by sea and shore - the gun, the oar, and the cragsman's rope being the familiar and appropriate playthings of those earlier years. Happy years, when the long summer days, separated only by a brief twilight, were ever too short to accomplish all that youthful enterprise could plan; and the long winter nights never long enough to tell all the fairy tales, legends, and ghost stories which inspired with pleasure or fear the hearts of youthful listeners. The impression which those wild legends and fascinating fairy tales of a bygone age made upon the Author's youthful imagination, has not been lessened by time, but rather deepened as maturer years presented the subject to his mind, not merely as a childish pastime, but as a mirror in which are reflected, more or less distinctly, the habits, thoughts, and feelings of past generations.

Download or read book At the Bridge written by Wendy Wickwire and published by UBC Press. This book was released on 2019-06-01 with total page 401 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At the Bridge chronicles the little-known story of James Teit, a prolific ethnographer who, from 1884 to 1922, worked with and advocated for the Indigenous peoples of British Columbia and the northwestern United States. From his base at Spences Bridge, BC, Teit forged a participant-based anthropology that was far ahead of its time. Whereas his contemporaries, including famed anthropologist Franz Boas, studied Indigenous peoples as members of “dying cultures,” Teit worked with them as members of living cultures resisting colonial influence over their lives and lands. Whether recording stories, mapping place-names, or participating in the chiefs’ fight for fair treatment, he made their objectives his own. With his allies, he produced copious, meticulous records; an army of anthropologists could not have achieved a fraction of what he achieved in his short life. Wickwire’s beautifully crafted narrative accords Teit the status he deserves, consolidating his place as a leading and innovative anthropologist in his own right.
