Autorenporträt
Edwin Sidney Hartland (1848-1927) was a folklore author. His writings include compilations of stories as well as thoughts on anthropology and mythology from an ethnological standpoint. He believed that collecting and studying enduring and widespread folklore provided scientific insight into habit and belief. Hartland was president of the Folklore Society from 1899 to 1901, and he contributed to the magazine Folk-Lore; one of his early contributions had a disagreement with Andrew Lang. Hartland was born in Islington and went on to work as a solicitor in Swansea. E. J. Hartland, his father, was a congregational minister. Throughout his life, he held numerous judicial roles and served on public committees in Swansea and Gloucester, with a special interest in education.
