Description
Gomme describes the “old memories,” the particular ancient traditions of society as folklore. In Handbook of Folklore he gets into the nitty-gritty of the science of folklore, describing ceremonial customs, ballads, and superstitions associated with goblindom, witchcraft, plant life, and animals. As Director of the Folklore Society, Gomme gives much insight into how one gathers concrete data on what is essentially a system of beliefs.
