Comparative Studies In Nursery Rhymes

The book is divided into chapters that focus on specific themes or types of nursery rhymes, such as counting rhymes, lullabies, and nonsense rhymes. Eckenstein compares and contrasts variations of the same rhyme from different cultures and analyzes the symbolism and meaning behind the rhymes. The author also discusses the historical and social contexts in which nursery rhymes were created and how they reflect the values and beliefs of the societies that produced them. This book is a valuable resource for scholars of folklore, literature, and cultural studies, as well as anyone interested in the history and cultural significance of nursery rhymes.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
