Abstract

ABSTRACT Eric R. Cregeen (1921–83) was described in 2005 by the Historiographer Royal of Scotland as ‘a social scientist of the highest order … a very fine historian and a very fine anthropologist … far in advance of this time … no one since has put the two disciplines together so effectively to illuminate the life of the Highlands.’ (Professor T. C. Smout, University of St Andrew’s). This paper gives a short biography of Cregeen’s life and follows his career that earned him the highest acclaim among scholars of folklore, folklife and language, as well as social, economic and oral history. Benefitting from training from the Irish Folklore Commission, and fieldwork experience in the Manx Museum, he moved to Scotland in 1954. Cregeen devoted the rest of his life to documenting traditions of the West Highlands, leaving a legacy of recordings and journals which now provide a rich resource for further research.

回归来源:埃里克·r·格林的民间生活遗产

埃里克·r·格林(1921-83)在2005年被苏格兰皇家历史学家描述为“最高级别的社会科学家……一位非常优秀的历史学家和一位非常优秀的人类学家……远远领先于这个时代……从那时起，没有人能如此有效地将这两个学科结合在一起，以阐明苏格兰高地的生活。”(圣安德鲁大学T. C. Smout教授)。本文简要介绍了格林的生平，并介绍了他在民俗学、民间生活和语言、社会、经济和口述史等领域获得最高赞誉的职业生涯。得益于爱尔兰民俗委员会的培训，以及在马恩岛博物馆的实地工作经验，他于1954年搬到了苏格兰。格林的余生致力于记录西高地的传统，留下了大量的录音和日志，现在为进一步的研究提供了丰富的资源。
