Description

Explore the hidden history of folklore with The Nail in the Skull and Other Victorian Urban Legends. While modern folklorists have documented contemporary tales like the Vanishing Hitchhiker, the legends of the 1800s have often been overlooked. This collection by Simon Young addresses this gap by focusing on the stories of the Victorian era. Rather than viewing these tales only as precursors to modern myths, this book presents them as unique stories in their own right. It provides a deep look into the British folklore of the 1900s, offering insights that extend to the wider English-speaking world. For readers interested in history and the evolution of storytelling, this work offers a rare look at the legends that shaped the 19th century.

Key Features

Explores the specific urban legends and folklore of the Victorian era in Britain.

Provides a unique perspective on 1800s stories as independent tales rather than just precursors to modern myths.

Fills a significant gap in existing folklore studies by focusing on historical rather than contemporary legends.

Offers valuable research for those interested in the history of the English-speaking world and its oral traditions.

Authored by Simon Young to bring much-needed attention to neglected 19th-century British folklore.
