Halloween

From Pagan Ritual to Party Night

by Nicholas Rogers

A cultural history of Halloween from the Gaelic festival of Samhain and the Christian feasts of All Saints and All Souls to its transformation in North America. Rogers is cautious about claims of pagan continuity and traces how the festival was reinvented by migrants, commerce and popular media.
