ENGLAND: THE OTHER WITHIN

Ettlinger's Pamphlet collection

Alison Petch,
Researcher 'The Other Within' project

Ellen Ettlinger obviously kept the pamphlets and booklets she obtained, and the off-prints she was given by other authors. She bequeathed them to the Pitt Rivers Museum in case they would be helpful to future scholars and they are now held in the Balfour Library at the museum, a resource for students, staff and visiting researchers. A detailed examination of these has shown relatively few pamphlets relating to the folklore of England. Here is a list of the relevant material:

1. Box marked Ettlinger collection Pamphlets I

a/ 'The Scouring of the White Horse' G.W.B. Huntingford The Journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute of Great Britain and Ireland, Vol. 87, No. 1 (Jan. - Jun., 1957), pp. 105-114 [either off-print, or cut from JRAI]
b/ "Folk Society" and "Western Civilization". A suggestion to the study of European Folk Cultures Albert Eskeröd, Stockholm. Folkliv 17/18 (1953-54), 53-60. [Off-print or torn out]
c/ H.A. Beecham and John W.Y. Higgs 'The story of farm tools' Young Farmers' Club Booklet no. 24 published by Evans Brothers Ltd. for the National Federation of Young Farmers' Clubs. [first edition 1951]

2. Ettlinger Collection Pamphlets II

a/ Battersea Parish Church History and Guide book 3rd edition 1972
b/ Offprint of The Stone Sculptures on White Island Lower Lough Erne Co. Fermanagh by Ettlinger. In final end note she thanks 'I am greatly indebted for advice in the preparation of this article to Father Romuald Baurreiss, O.S.B. of Munich, and to Professor I. Ll. Foster, Sir John L. Myres and Mr. C.H. Roberts of Oxford.' [Man, nos 53/54 March 1953 p34]
Romuald Baurreiss was a Benedictine scholar apparently, Myres is obvious and CH Roberts appears to be Colin Henderson Roberts (1909-1990) who wrote about religious topics, according to National Portrait Gallery he was Publisher and Secretary to the Delegates of Oxford University Press; Classicist [http://www.npg.org.uk/live/search/person.asp?LinkID=mp75781]

e/ RAI Report of Council and Annual Accounts for year ending Dec 31st 1976
