Synopsis

""Folklore As An Historical Science"" is a scholarly work by George Laurence Gomme, first published in 1908. In this book, Gomme explores the relationship between folklore and history, arguing that folklore can be used as a valuable source of information for understanding the social and cultural history of a particular community or region. He discusses the various ways in which folklore can be studied, including through the analysis of oral traditions, customs, beliefs, and material culture. Gomme also examines the role of folklore in the development of national identity and the ways in which it has been used to reinforce political and cultural power structures. Drawing on examples from a wide range of cultures and historical periods, ""Folklore As An Historical Science"" is a seminal work in the field of folklore studies and a must-read for anyone interested in the intersection of folklore and history.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
