Celtic Folklore, Welsh and Manx
Description
'Celtic Folklore, Welsh and Manx' is a book by John Rhys, first published in 1901. Rhys’s work collects and analyses Welsh and Manx folk-tales, beliefs, and place-legends gathered from oral tradition and links them to medieval literary material (including parallels with the Mabinogion and Arthurian motifs). Written from the standpoint of a careful, philological scholar of the late Victorian era, the book balances storytelling with comparative commentary on themes like fairies, water-spirits, submerged cities, caves, and name-magic — helping to move Celtic folklore from scattered antiquarian notes into a more systematic, academic field and influencing later folklorists and Celticists. Though rooted in 19th-century methods, Rhys’s attention to language, local variants, and the relation between oral and manuscript traditions keeps the work useful for both readers seeking vivid local legends and scholars tracing the development of Celtic studies.
