The Invention of TraditionMany of the traditions which we think of as very ancient in their origins were not in fact sanctioned by long usage over the centuries, but were invented comparatively recently.

Many of the traditions which we think of as very ancient in their origins were not in fact sanctioned by long usage over the centuries, but were invented comparatively recently. This book explores examples of this process of invention - the creation of Welsh and Scottish 'national culture'; the elaboration of British royal rituals in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries; the origins of imperial rituals in British India and Africa; and the attempts by radical movements to develop counter-traditions of their own. It addresses the complex interaction of past and present, bringing together historians and anthropologists in a fascinating study of ritual and symbolism which poses new questions for the understanding of our history.

Very soft blanket
This is the perfect summer blanket. It’s soft and cuddly but not bulky. My Grandson likes it so much I had to buy a second one for my home when he naps.

Great Condition

Love it! Had this when I was younger and the nostalgia felt great while flipping through the pages. Also the sellers put the book in resealable protective bag which was awesome.

Big hit
Format: Paperback
A really fun collection for the young fans of the annual Simpsons Treehouse of Horror shows. My child is a little on the young (8) side for a Simpsons fan but thoroughly enjoyed this collection.
