This section looks specifically
at how the legend of St Nicholas developed into the
modern American Sata Claus, and is presently under
construction. Most relevant links have already been given
in the previous two sections. Perhas the most important
link is The
Origin of American Christmas Myth and Custom
by B.K. Swartz Jr.. This is a very nice, schematic
version of the evolution of St Nicholas with extremely
good coverage of the development of Santa Claus,
including dates for the first appearance of various
features. |
