The Fairy Mythology, Volume I
Volume I · Persia, Romance, the Eddas, Scandinavia, Germany — Keightley’s 1850 Text, Annotated, with a Register of What He Translated, Collected, Read and Only Concluded
Thomas Keightley's 1850 Fairy Mythology, volume I of two: where the belief and the word come from, the Persian peri and the Arabian jinn, Oberon traced back to Alberich, the alfar and duergar of the Eddas, and the fairy beliefs of Denmark, Norway, Sweden, Iceland, Shetland, the Orkneys, Rügen, Germany and Switzerland. With a head-note and a criticism for every section, a Register of Evidence and Inference, a glossary of the northern words, a register of the beings, a who's-who of the collectors he translates, a concordance of motifs measured across both volumes, and a plain account of what has been established since 1850.
