New in open access from the University of Exeter, The Boggart Sourcebook (2022)…
‘Boggart Ephemera’, is a selection of about 40,000 words of nineteenth-century boggart writing (particularly material that is difficult to find in libraries). Part two presents a catalogue of ‘Boggart Names’ (place-names and personal names, totalling over 10,000 words). Finally, part three contains the entire ‘Boggart Census’ – a compendium of ground-breaking grassroots research. This census includes more than a thousand responses, totalling some 80,000 words, from older respondents in the north-west of England, to the question: ‘What is a boggart?’
Not currently downloading, for me, on either my regular or my ‘clean of add-ons’ Web browser. But hopefully it will soon, and then I’ll know how much Staffordshire is in it.
Update: There is a way to get the PDF. unglue.it have it and they usefully offer a “Save to Dropbox” feature that works. The normal PDF download is still not working.
