Autorenporträt
John Roby (1793-1850) was an English banker, poet, and author, distinguished as a collector and historian of Lancashire folklore and traditions. He is best remembered for his seminal work 'Traditions of Lancashire (The Complete Two-Volume Edition)', which was first published in parts between 1829 and 1831 and combined into two volumes in 1872. His scholarship is marked by the blending of local lore with historical facts, and his literary approach often integrates elements of the supernatural and romantic. Roby's 'Traditions of Lancashire' is characterized by its vivid descriptions and narrative flair, providing readers a window into the culture and history of the county of Lancashire during the early 19th century. In it, he meticulously chronicles a variety of tales ranging from witch trials to heroic deeds, thus preserving the cultural heritage of the region. His enthusiastic and sometimes poetic portrayal of Lancashire's past has left a lasting impact on the study of local history and customs. Roby was not merely a chronicler but also a storyteller, infusing life into the legends and folktales that would have otherwise been lost to time. His works remain a valuable resource for historians and literary enthusiasts interested in the folklore and history of Lancashire and contribute to the continued interest in England's regional traditions.
