Summary "The Customs of Old England" by F. J. Snell is a historical account written in the early 20th century. This work explores various old English customs, particularly within the context of medieval life, focusing on their significance to English society during that period. Snell aims to provide insights into these customs as perceived by an educated Englishman of his time, making it relevant for readers interested in the cultural history of England. At the start of the book, Snell introduces the central theme of old English customs, emphasizing their connection to the organized life of the Middle Ages. He discusses the ecclesiastical practices of the time, particularly "Leagues of Prayer," where communities engaged in spiritual solidarity through shared prayers for the deceased and living alike. By delving into these practices, the reader begins to understand not only the rituals themselves but also their broader implications on society, showcasing how deeply intertwined such customs were with the fabric of medieval life.
