Title: Booklet titled 'Revisiting F.J. Bigger: A Fin-de-Siècle Flourish of Antiquarian-Folklore Scholarship in Ulster'
Scope and content: An article authored by Guy Beiner titled 'Revisiting F.J. Bigger: A Fin-de-Siècle Flourish of Antiquarian-Folklore Scholarship in Ulster.' The article attempts to challenge the dominant tradition in the history of Irish folklore to focus on Dublin-based folklorists travelling to the western seaboard and instead display 'the contribution of the north-south axis to the development of folklore scholarship in Ireland' by considering the legacy of F.J. Bigger and his work.
