Charles Godfrey Leland Bücher
Charles Godfrey Leland war ein amerikanischer Humorist und Folklorist, dessen Werk sich häufig mit amerikanischen und europäischen Sprachen sowie Volksbräuchen befasste. Er entwickelte ein tiefes Interesse an volkstümlicher Linguistik und veröffentlichte zahlreiche Artikel und Bücher zu diesem Thema. Während seine komischen Hans Breitmann's Ballads ihm Anerkennung als Humorist einbrachten, befassten sich seine wissenschaftlichen Arbeiten mit dem Kern der Volkskultur. Darüber hinaus verfasste er einen Text, der zu einem grundlegenden Werk für das Neuheidentum werden sollte, was die Breite seines Engagements in esoterischen Traditionen zeigt.
