Folk Memory: Or The Continuity Of British Archaeology by Walter Johnson is a book that explores the idea of folk memory and its role in British archaeology. The book argues that folk memory, which refers to the collective memory of a community or culture, is an important factor in understanding the continuity of British archaeology. Johnson examines the ways in which folk memory has influenced the development of British archaeology, from the early antiquarianism of the 18th and 19th centuries to the modern scientific approach of the 20th century. He also discusses the role of folklore, mythology, and oral traditions in shaping our understanding of the past.The book is divided into three parts, each focusing on a different aspect of folk memory and its relationship to British archaeology. Part One examines the concept of folk memory and its importance in understanding the past. Part Two looks at the ways in which folk memory has influenced the development of British archaeology, including the study of megaliths, burial mounds, and other ancient monuments. Part Three explores the role of folklore, mythology, and oral traditions in shaping our understanding of the past, including the legends surrounding King Arthur and other mythical figures.Overall, Folk Memory: Or The Continuity Of British Archaeology provides a unique perspective on the relationship between folk memory and British archaeology, and is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history and culture of the British Isles.This Is A New Release Of The Original 1908 Edition.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
