Traditional Threats
Description
This file contains items relating to Tony Green's research into traditional threats to children. The fieldwork is based on the responses of first and second year pupils from Roundhay School in Leeds, to a request to write down ways in which their parents or others used to threaten them if they were misbehaving. The file includes Tony Green's typed introduction and summary of pupil responses, classified as List A (threats involving a fantasy or real figure) and List B (threats involving direct antagonism between parent and child, e.g. physical violence or withdrawal of privileges); his ms. notes, and typed and ms. drafts of summary papers; and ms. pupil responses on traditional threats divided into List A, List B, responses included in neither list, and lists of sayings and proverbs. The file also includes typed correspondence from Bridget Yates of the Castle Museum, Norwich, on a threat citing the Earl of Leicester (30 November 1972), and ms. correspondence from Venetia Newall of the Folklore Society , thanking Tony Green for a presentation made to the Society (10 December [1972?]).
