  • Myths and Symbols in Pagan Europe

    James E Doan, H R Ellis DavidsonARTICLEJournal of American Folklore1989

    Excerpt The aim of the author has been to examine the pre-Christian records of Scandinavia and the Celtic world (primarily Ireland and Wales, but also including Continental evidence), as well as the later literary and folk material of these peoples, in an effort to reconstruct their original world- views. Needless to say, this is a very ambitious project, yet Davidson has been quite successful in carrying it out. Well known to students of Scandin…

  • Folklore and Myth

    H R Ellis DavidsonARTICLEFolklore1976Citada por: 1Referencias: 10

    HE relationship of myth to folklore is a subject which arises inevitably out of my two earlier presidential addresses. In the first of these, Folklore and History, I indicated certain repetitive patterns in popular traditions concerning historical persons and events: the generous donor, the monster of destruction, the king returning to inaugurate a golden age. In the second, on Folklore and Literature, I was again dealing with repetitive patterns…

  • Folklore and Literature

    H R Ellis DavidsonARTICLEFolklore1975Citada por: 3Referencias: 12

    IT is my intention today to look back, as I did last year, to recent work published in our journal and elsewhere, to discover the main lines along which progress in folklore studies is being made. The subject of folklore in literature has come well into the forefront in recent issues, and for the first time, to the best of my knowledge, the word folklore has appeared in the English faculty lecture list at Cambridge, where Dr Derek Brewer has been…

  • Folklore and History

    H R Ellis DavidsonARTICLEFolklore1974Citada por: 4Referencias: 14

    IN choosing this subject, I found I was following in the footsteps of a former President, Dr Margaret Murray, who gave an address on 'Folklore in History' in I955. It has been instructive to look back to this. Dr Murray found ingenious ways to explain folklore traditions by fitting them into a simple historical framework, as when here she suggests that stories of West Country giants might have originated in early invasions of peoples from south-e…

  • The Legend of Lady Godiva

    H R Ellis DavidsonARTICLEFolklore1969Citada por: 2

    THE legend of Godiva was recalled to our minds and flared up for a while in the press in 1967, when the City of Coventry celebrated the 9ooth anniversary of her death. It is a legend which offers a challenge both to historian and folklorist, for the problem it presents is that of the relationship between historical events, written records and popular tradition. It is the more complicated and the more interesting for us because the folklore does n…

  • Gods and Myths of Northern Europe

    Ernst S Dick, H R Ellis DavidsonARTICLEWestern Folklore1966Citada por: 27

    This title surveys the pre-Christian beliefs of the Scandinavian and Germanic people. It provides an introduction to this subject, giving basic outlines to the sagas and stories, and helps identify the character traits of not only the well known but also the lesser gods of the age

  • The Finglesham Man

    Open AccessSonia Chadwick Hawke, Sonia Chadwick Hawkes et al.ARTICLEAntiquity1965Citada por: 10Referencias: 8

    The buckle (PL. Iva) was found during the latest season of excavation on the site of the Anglo-Saxon cemetery at Finglesham [I]. It has not yet been sent for laboratory treatment, but though some of its constructional details are obscured by the corrosion of the bronze backplate, all its other surfaces, including the underside of the loop and tongue and the edges of the ornamental plate, have been protected during the long centuries underground b…

  • Folklore and Man's Past

    H R Ellis DavidsonARTICLEFolklore1963Citada por: 3

    WE realize now that folklore is not merely a study of survival fossilized pieces of quaint tradition from a hypothetical past. Yet it does provide a link with the past, and as a student of early literature, archaeology and religion, this is the aspect of folklore studies with which I am most concerned. What kind of light does it throw on the customs and beliefs of men of long ago ? The work of Sir James Frazer and other giants of the early twenti…

  • The Sword in Anglo-Saxon England. Its Archaeology and Literature

    D H Green, H R Ellis DavidsonARTICLEThe Modern Language Review1962

    This book is an invaluable exploration of the significance of the sword as symbol and weapon in the Anglo-Saxon world, using archaeological and literary evidence. The first part of the book, a careful study of the disposition of swords found in peat bogs, in graves, lakes and rivers, yields information on religious and social practices. The second is concerned with literary sources, especially Beowulf.

  • The Sword at the Wedding

    H R Ellis DavidsonARTICLEFolklore1960Citada por: 2

    FROM the close of the Roman period in North-western Europe, the long two-edged sword was the weapon of princes and adventurers, the warrior's most cherished possession which must always be ready to hand. The sword was carried by kings and leaders and given out by them to their followers in return for service in battle, and consequently it became a powerful emotive symbol in prose and poetry, the pledge of loyalty between the warrior and his lord.…

  • The history of the Danes

    Grammaticus Saxo, Peter Fisher et al.

    first nine books of Saxo Grammaticus's The History of the Danes, dealing with the legendary kings and heroes of Denmark have long been recognized as one of the major sources for the heroic and mythological traditions of Northern Europe, including the earliest known account of the Hamlet story. However, they present many problems, because of the complexity of Saxo's Latin style and of the material he brought together from many different fields. Th…
