Recenzje

wide-ranging and creative book ... Well-written and accessible, the book explores many aspects of popular religion, culture, and social history. Hutton's original research provides fascinating material on such topics as ritual feast and fasting, the Lords of Misrule, Christmas carols, and the meanings of certain celebrations such as Valentine's Day and May Day ... a book of tremendous breadth and imagination, well worth reading for scholars of many specialties.
