The Savage Shore
For centuries before the arrival in Australia of Captain Cook and the so-called First Fleet in 1788, intrepid seafaring explorers had been searching, with varied results, for the fabled “Great Southland.” In this enthralling history of early discovery, Graham Seal offers breathtaking tales of shipwrecks, perilous landings, and Aboriginal encounters with the more than three hundred Europeans who washed up on these distant shores long before the la…

We're Here Because We're Here’
English-speaking soldiers of the Great War created a large ‘trench press’, a body of periodicals by, for, and about their experiences. They contain a wealth of folkloric material and indications of its significance and functions. While acknowledging the constraints involved in retrieving once-living traditions from the fragmentary survival of mostly makeshift periodicals, this article describes and discusses the processes involved in the creation…
Anzac Day at Home and Abroad
Over the last hundred years, Anzac Day (25 April), the anniversary of the initial landing of Australian and New Zealand Army Corps (ANZAC) at Gallipoli in 1915, has captured the Australian and New Zealand national imaginations. The day remembers the first significant engagement involving Australian and New Zealand soldiers in the First World War. This article is an early report of a major project that will chart Anzac Day’s origins, development a…
‘… And in the Morning …’
This article examines the structural malleability of the dawn service and the appeal it subsequently has for adaptation – or appropriation – by interests with a need to express, validate or perhaps procure its strong appeal to popular nationalism. A brief account of the history and mythology of the dawn service is given to indicate its origins and development as the element of Anzac Day with the most consistently popular appeal. A morphology of t…
The Historical Literature of the Jack Cade Rebellion
By Alexander L Kaufman, Farnham: Ashgate, 2009, 242 pp. £55.00/$99.95 (hbk), ISBN 978-0-754-66703-2 The author of this work uses the chronicles of fifteenth-century London relating to Cade's Rebell
The Robin Hood Principle
The debate over the social bandit's existence has raged ever since the original publication of Eric Hobsawm's Social Bandits in 1969. Hobsbawm's argument that a few individuals in the history of crime and politics transcend the status of the criminal to become truly representative of an oppressed group's struggle has been reinforced or attacked by historians, anthropologists, and political scientists. Given folklorists' interest in the origins, r…
Anzac
Anzac is the single most powerful, manifestation of an ambivalence that lies at the heart of sense of national identity. The Anzac mythology provides the energy that drives the cultural script which powers the values, attitudes and beliefs of the Australians

Tradition and Agrarian Protest in Nineteenth-Century England and Wales
Thomas Pettitt have published articles in Folklore that advance the suggestions made over twenty years ago by Mr Smith.2 Both Simms and Pettitt concentrate on the role of traditional drama in a diversity of social protests spanning considerable periods of time, and provide a number of observations no less valuable for the historical generalising they necessarily involve. Pettitt points out the need for studies of these matters from the perspectiv…
A ‘Hussitting’ in Berkshire, 1930
The essential function of all these activities seems to be their role as a focus for communal disapproval of the actions of a member (or members) of a community. These disapproved actions are usually sexual misdemeanours of one kind or another that are frequently outside the usual legal framework - old men marrying women much younger than themselves, for instance. Charivaris have a number of common traits, including the use of rough music, effigi…
