About This Item
New York, NY: Oxford University Press. Very Good Minus. 2002. First Trade Paperback. Soft Cover. 5 " x 8" 0195168968 TRADE PAPERBACK B&W photos and illustrations throughout. The author traces Halloween as it emerged from the Celtic festival of Samhain (summer's end), picked up elements of the Christian Hallowtide, arrived in North America as an Irish and Scottish festival, and evolved into an unofficial but large-scale holiday by the early 20th century. He shows how Halloween remains, at its core, a night of inversion, when social norms are turned upside down, and a temporary freedom of expression reigns supreme. Wear at edges, stickers on back cover, reading creases, rubbed, 3 black lines on bottom endpages. .
