Fans of Ronald Hutton Should Be Patient. This Will Eventually Turn into a Review Essay About His New Book Pagan Britain

It is extremely unlikely that anyone encountering this on their LiveJournal feed will feel like stopping everything and reading eighteen hundred words about methodology and degrees of certainty in topics beginning with meteorology and cosmology and ending up with visionary folk art, while spending a great deal of time en route dealing with Ronald Hutton’s book on prehistoric religions and their possible survivals in Britain. I recommend clicking on the LJ-cut mark and then downloading or copying the whole thing for later perusal, if you find it of the slightest interest.

John Crowley might be particularly interested in a quotation from Hutton that I have situated at the very end of this much too far ranging essay. —Jerry Cullum
