Merchant's Category: Media> Books
THE JACK IN THE GREEN is a man or boy enclosed in a wooden framework covered with leaves. The origins of this figure are obscure, but Judge traces its earliest reference in the late 18th century, and follows its popularity through the 19th century. He shows how the Jack in the green was part of a complex range of May Day urban begging activities, and he includes an extensive index of locations listing every known performance of a Jack in the Green, including several still being performed today.
