Myths & Legends Of The British Isles (Paperback)

The British Isles have a long tradition of tales of gods,heroes and marvels,hinting at a mythology once as relevant to the races which settled the islands as the Greek and Roman gods were to the classical world. The tales drawn together in this book,from a wide range of medieval sources,span the centuries from the dawn of Christianity to the age of the Plantagenets. The Norse gods which peopled the Anglo-Saxon past survive in Beowulf; Cuchulainn,Taliesin and the magician Merlin take shape from Celtic m

British Myths & Legends

British Myths & Legends (b22b1) Edited and introduced by Richard Barber Illustrations by John Vernon Lord The Folio Society - Hardback with slipcase Approximate size: 263mm's x 186mm's x 55mm's Approximate net weight: grams Condition: Fine Description: Taken from the introduction - For these are tales of gods and heroes and marvels, the antithesis of sober history, reaching back into the beliefs of our distant forebears. The usual distinction between myth and legend is the presence of a supernatural element in the former, and an historical basis in the latter; if we add to this the category of 'wondertale', this gives us the starting point for this book. Myths, as in the case of the Greek or Norse myths, can have a religious background; but we know too little about the religion of the Celts or the elusive paganism of the Anglo-Saxons to begin to compile a volume on the scale of those for Greece or the North. So myth in its proper sense hardly makes an appearance on its own in the following pages; but our stories are shot through with mystical threads, which give the narratives their iridescent sheen of the unreal and the dreamt.

The littoral fauna of the British Isles: a handbook for

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Eales, Nellie B., PUBLISHER: Cambridge U.P., Originally published in , as the fourth edition of a text first published in , this reference book provided the serious student of marine biology with the means of identifying the extraordinary variety of living creatures to be found on the British and Irish coasts, without the need for searching through large specialised monographs or papers scattered in zoological journals. It was written to encourage observation of the habits and structure of the living animal in its natural surroundings, supplemented by closer study in the laboratory, with special attention to characters of systematic importance, and to give preliminary training in systematic work. The keys in this book enabled the collector to trace an animal at least to its genus; and in the process learn how to carry the investigation further if need be in the specialist monographs, of which lists are given at the head of each chapter.
