Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Village Community: With Special Reference to the Origin and Form of Its Survivals in Britain I have sought in this little book to bring into prominence a view of the place which the village community occupies in English institutions. So far as I know, this has not yet been considered by scholars. The subject has occupied my attention for the past twelve years or so, and I have studied it side by side with other subjects which of late years in increasing force I have conceived to be in intimate relationship with it. To many who take a considerable interest in the early history of institutions, it will appear strange that folklore should be adduced in evidence. But to those of us who have watched, and perhaps aided in some slight way, the development of the science which underlies so much that constitutes what is called folklore, there will be no surprise. If we want to get at the true origin of what is now found on English soil as heirlooms of the past, we must take into our purview not one particular section, not one particular period, or one particular area; we must consider all the remains of the past and pick out from the whole group the evidence we seek for. Englishmen did not begin their history in the land they named, but their history in older England had much the same original characteristics as those of other Aryan tribes in their early homes. Because we study these characteristics at home, we are too apt to accentuate the forces of political progress and to minimize the forces of peasant crystallization. The latter has had no historian by the very nature of things. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
