Description
The Stations of the Sun: A History of the Ritual Year in Britain by Ronald Hutton This comprehensive history of the ritual year in Britain offers a fascinating exploration of the ways in which ancient and medieval practices continue to shape our modern calendar. Hutton's engaging and learned book provides a rich source of information about late-medieval calendar customs, extending far beyond the Middle Ages. A key aspect of the book is its examination of the survival of Catholic practices in a Protestant era, and the ways in which these customs have been preserved in popular culture. With its well-produced and engaging style, this book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of religion and social customs in Britain. A tour de force from one of the leading historians of his field, The Stations of the Sun is a stimulating and informative read that will appeal to scholars and enthusiasts alike.
