goddammit, this looks fascinating to me, but I've no academic affiliations to persuade to purchase this
putting on the list to try to ILL in a year or so

I'm cross it's ended up so expensive, tbh. There should be a paperback in about a year, which will hopefully be closer to the £30 mark

I am so glad to see more books being published on this subject. BTW I had no idea that a professional indexer was a job! I always thought the author/ publisher did that! #TheMoreYouKnow :)

It's technically published in 5 vols. but 2 of those were collated into 1 book; so if you buy them yourself--just as a warning--don't be surprised if you only get 4 books, LOL! I'm so glad that these books were published because he passed a few years later, which makes them an extraordinary legacy.

Whoah, Dr. Young! Slow your roll, LOL! 😉 My dear (late) friend, Prof. Randy P. Conner published his Ph.D. dissertation on just this subject, which was formally published by Mandrake of Oxford as "The Pagan Heart of the West," vols. 1-5 (2019-2020). I still want to read what you've written, tho.
