|
Over a decade in the making, Medieval Folklore offers a |
|
wide-ranging guide to the lore of the Middle Ages--from the |
|
mundane to the supernatural. Definitive and lively articles |
|
focus on the great tales and traditions of the age and includes |
|
information on daily and nightly customs and activities; |
|
religious beliefs of the pagan, Christian, Muslim, and Jew; key |
|
works of oral and written literature; traditional music and art; |
|
holidays and feasts; food and drink; and plants and animals, |
|
both real and fantastical. |
|
While most books on medieval folklore focus primarily on the |
|
West, this unique volume brings together an eclectic range of |
|
experts to treat the subject from a global perspective. |
|
Especially remarkable are the surveys of the major medieval |
|
traditions including Arab-Islamic, Baltic, English, Finno-Ugric, |
|
French, Hispanic, Hungarian, Irish, Italian, Jewish, |
|
Scandinavian, Scottish, Slavic, and Welsh. |
|
For anyone who has ever wanted a path through the tangle of |
|
Arthurian legends, or the real lowdown on St. Patrick, or the |
|
last word on wolf lore--this is the place to look. |
