The authors of the book retell for the Russian audience legends, omens, fairy tales and ballads that were popular in England in the 19th century. The life of the English is shown here through the prism of customs and superstitions. The entire life of a subject of the British Empire, from birth to death, was accompanied by unshakable traditions and rituals, many of which today cause laughter and bewilderment. The publication is intended for a wide range of readers, but primarily for those who are interested in the history of the 19th century, mythology, folklore, as well as mysticism and superstition. The book has no analogues and will arouse interest among specialists: philologists, historians and translators, who are forced to independently search for material among numerous foreign scientific publications. The topic of British folklore in everyday life of the Victorian era is touched upon for the Russian reader for the first time. Most of the materials have not previously been translated into Russian. You will find fascinating reading about the perception of the world, holidays, weddings and fortune telling, birth and death, everyday and professional superstitions and much more.
