Comprising three parts, this book is a companion volume to The
Boggart: Folklore, History, Place-Names and Dialect. Part one,
'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?' The Boggart Sourcebook will
be of interest to folklorists, historians and dialect scholars. It
provides the three corpora on which the innovative monograph, The
Boggart, is based.
