About this title
Synopsis:Boasting a rich, complex history rooted in Celtic and Christian ritual, Halloween has evolved from ethnic celebration to a blend of street festival, fright night, and vast commercial enterprise. In this colorful history, Nicholas Rogers takes a lively, entertaining look at the cultural origins and development of one of the most popular holidays of the year.
Drawing on a fascinating array of sources, from classical history to Hollywood films, Rogers traces Halloween as it emerged from the Celtic festival of Samhain (summer's end), picked up elements of the Christian Hallowtide (All Saint's Day and All Soul's Day), arrived in North America as an Irish and Scottish festival, and evolved into an unofficial but large-scale holiday by the early 20th century. He examines the 1970s and '80s phenomena of Halloween sadism (razor blades in apples) and inner-city violence (arson in Detroit), as well as the immense influence of the horror film genre on the reinvention of Halloween as a terror-fest. Throughout his vivid account, Rogers shows how Halloween remains, at its core, a night of inversion, when social norms are turned upside down, and a temporary freedom of expression reigns supreme. He examines how this very license has prompted censure by the religious Right, occasional outrage from law enforcement officials, and appropriation by Left-leaning political groups.
Engagingly written and based on extensive research, Halloween is the definitive history of the most bewitching day of the year, illuminating the intricate history and shifting cultural forces behind this enduring trick-or-treat holiday.
Nicholas Rogers is Professor of History at York University. He is the co-author of Eighteenth-Century English Society: Shuttles and Swords (OUP) and the author of Crowds, Culture, and Politics in Georgian Britain (OUP), for which he received the 1999 Wallace K. Ferguson Prize of the Canadian Historical Association for the best book on non-Canadian history.

Reviews for "Mastering the Art of Hair Trimming with the Wahl Professional Magic Clip Cordless Hair Trimmer"
1. John - 2/5 - I was really disappointed with the Wahl Professional Magic Clip Cordless Hair Trimmer. The battery life was extremely poor, preventing me from finishing a haircut without constantly needing to recharge. Additionally, the trimmer's blades dulled quickly and required frequent replacements, which ended up driving up the overall cost of using this product. Overall, I found it to be unreliable and not worth the investment.
2. Sarah - 1/5 - I had high hopes for the Wahl Professional Magic Clip Cordless Hair Trimmer, but it fell short in so many ways. Firstly, the trimmer was uncomfortably loud, making it a challenge to use for an extended period of time without risking a headache. Secondly, the blades would often snag or get stuck in my hair, resulting in an uneven and frustrating haircut experience. Lastly, the trimmer's design made it difficult to maneuver around tight areas, such as the neckline or behind the ears. I would not recommend this product to anyone looking for a reliable and user-friendly hair trimming tool.
3. Michael - 2/5 - The Wahl Professional Magic Clip Cordless Hair Trimmer did not live up to its claims. The trimmer's cutting power was underwhelming, as it struggled to cleanly and efficiently cut through thicker hair. Additionally, the trimmer had a tendency to overheat quickly, which not only affected its performance but also made it uncomfortable to hold. Furthermore, the trimmer's ergonomic design was lacking, causing discomfort and strain on my hand during use. Overall, I was not satisfied with this product and would suggest exploring other options in the market.
