A Victorian archive of myth and custom, alive with curious scholarship and local colour. A record of living belief.First printed as Folklore; A Quarterly Review of Myth, Tradition, Institution & Custom (Volume IV, 1893), this folklore quarterly anthology gathers first-hand observation, critical essays and reviews that illuminate the rituals, institutions and everyday beliefs of late nineteenth-century England and contributed to Victorian folklore studies. Field observations sit alongside learned comparison, so entries range from concise local notes on British folk customs to broader comparative mythology discussion, making it a comparative mythology collection of sustained interest. The editorial voice crosses archaeology, antiquarian enquiry, ethnology and anthropology, producing material useful to both casual readers and scholars of folklore. As an academic reference collection it supplies primary testimony for ritual and custom research while still offering readable provincial narrative and vigorous Victorian argument.Historically significant, this issue captures the moment folklore moved from antiquarian curiosity to organised study and helped shape the Folklore Society journal’s concerns. Out of print for decades and now republished by Alpha Editions. Restored for today’s and future generations. More than a reprint - a collector’s item and a cultural treasure. Collectors of classic literature, libraries assembling 19th century folklore, and students of myth and tradition review will value its provenance and voice; historians of religion and social historians will find first-hand evidence on local institutions, seasonal calendars and community rites. A volume both for study and for pleasure, it preserves Victorian prose, disciplinary argument and the raw materials of England’s cultural history.
