Description
The Folklore of Devon by Mark Norman is a comprehensive study that brings together over a century of research on the subject. This major work consolidates the findings of prominent Devon folklorists and provides insightful analysis, drawing comparisons with folklore traditions beyond the county.
Covering a wide range of topics including the history of folklore collecting, tales from the moors, and modern lore, this book offers a fresh perspective on the subject. With its consideration of internet memes and contemporary folklore, it demonstrates that 'folklore' is not limited to traditional rural practices.
A valuable resource for anyone interested in folklore, this volume will remain a standard work for years to come, providing a detailed understanding of Devon's rich cultural heritage.
