Synopsis "Giants, Goblins, and Government: A Mytho-Historical Account of the Isle of Man"
Three-headed giants, an aquatic goblin, and the beginnings of the Isle of Man are a few of the subjects catalogued by Arthur William (A. W.) Moore as he ventured to preserve the rapidly disappearing culture and traditions of the little island in the Irish Sea: the Isle of Man. Pillaged by Vikings, ruled by the Scots, and finally procured by Britain, the Isle of Man has seen centuries of cultural influences as the amassed Celtic, Viking, and Manx stories collected here show. This volume offers a comprehensive account of mythology and history as islanders captured the stories and changes they encountered through the ages. Included here are A. W. Moore's The History of the Isle of Man (1900) and The Folk-Lore of the Isle of Man (1891) edited with an introduction by A. E. Congdon.
