Autoren-Porträt von David Macritchie
David MacRitchie (1851-1925) was a Scottish folklorist and antiquarian whose scholarship delved into the realms of mythology and ethnology. His work is often characterized by an attempt to ground folklore in historical reality, with a particular focus on the indigenous peoples of Scotland. MacRitchie is perhaps best known for his book 'Fians, Fairies and Picts' (1893), a work that combines meticulous research with speculative analysis to explore the origins of these mythic entities and their connection to the early inhabitants of Scotland. His theories often challenge traditional narratives by suggesting that folkloric creatures were based on living human communities of the past. MacRitchie's literary style is marked by a combination of analytic rigor and a narrative flair that seeks to bring ancient tales to life. While his theories are not universally accepted, and some considered them controversial, they continue to provide a fascinating window into the Victorian-era approach to folklore and its intersection with history. Scholars regard his contributions as a significant part of the dialogue in the fields of Scottish folklore and historical anthropology. MacRitchie's writings remain of interest to those studying the interplay between culture, history, and myth.
