All Silver and No Brass: An Irish Christmas Mumming
Published in the 1970's, All Silver and No Brass is a poorly organized field study of Mummers Plays. These folk dramas, most common to the British Isles, are a dying tradition (though they have seen a slight revival).
I quickly grew tired of the topic and kept finding myself asking, "So what? Why should I care about these folk traditions?" I had not heard of mummers plays before and find them fascinating--in spite of Glassie. His commentary removed the charm from a an usually very enchanting part of the world. These plays, and the people from whom they derive, deserve a more insightful and bewitching treatment.
I want my time back. At least I am 200 pages less ignorant of folk traditions surrounding the Emerald Isle.
