Baring-Gould Books On-line |
|---|
|
There are now a number of complete texts of books by Sabine Baring-Gould to be found on-line. The three main sources are:
This is the largest and most useful repositary of texts that I have found and a search for Baring-Gould will yield more that 50 full texts that you can read on-line or download. The on-line reader is much clearer and faster than reading PDF files, though you can download PDFs or text to your computer for study at your leisure.
Is another massive collection of electronic texts, both books and magazine articles. I find it frustrating that the search, like many of the searches of on-line newspapers, pull out all the adverts for books as well as the full texts. The texts are presented as PDF files and can be slow to download.
Another large on-line collection which contains four Baring-Gould books at present - A Book of Werewolves, Castles and Cave Dwellings of Europe, In Troubadour Land, and The Village Pulpit Vol II.
There are also some texts to be found in other places. I have checked the previous list on this page and I found that two previously listed could no longer be found - but the collections listed above more than compensate for their loss. Here are the ones that I know about :
Fiction:
Non-fiction: Curious Myths of the Middle Ages (part only)
Other articles: Essay
on English Folk Music

Burnard was one of Baring-Gould's best friends and they spent a lot of time working together on the exploration of Dartmoor and its archaeology. Burnard was a skilled photographer and his pictures captured a lot of the work they did together and Sabine is included in many of his pictures. His archive was left to the Dartmoor Trust by his grand-daughter, Lady Sylvia Sayer, and many of the photographs can now be found on this site, hosted by Exeter University.
