The Stations of the Sun by Ronald Hutton
This study covers the whole sweep of history from the earliest written records to the present day. From May Day revels and Midsummer Fires, to Harvest Home, Hallowe'en and the twelve days of Christmas, Ronald Hutton takes us on a journey through the ritual year in Britain. Seeking to challenge many common assumptions about the customs of the past and debunk many myths surrounding festivals of the present, this text illuminates the history of the calendar we live by today. This book is intended for students and historians of social and cultural history, folklorists, and anyone with an interest in traditional customs and rituals.Professor of History at the University of Bristol, Ronald Hutton He is the author of numerous notable publications on the British Civil War and seventeenth-century history, including Stations of the Sun, The Triumph of the Moon (Oxford University Press), Shamans and Witches, Druids and King Arthur (Hambledon/Continuum), and Shamans and Witches, Druids and King Arthur (Hambledon/Continuum).
