Publisher's Synopsis
""Comparative Studies in Nursery Rhymes"" by Lina Eckenstein is an academic work that explores the origins, evolution, and cultural significance of nursery rhymes from different countries and time periods. The book is divided into chapters that focus on specific themes or types of nursery rhymes, such as counting rhymes, lullabies, and nonsense rhymes. Eckenstein compares and contrasts variations of the same rhyme from different cultures and analyzes the symbolism and meaning behind the rhymes. The author also discusses the historical and social contexts in which nursery rhymes were created and how they reflect the values and beliefs of the societies that produced them.
