What is Thoms about?

William Thoms wrote a letter in 1846 proposing the term "folklore" to describe the popular traditions of people, such as customs, beliefs, and oral literature. He defined folklore as including manners, customs, observances, superstitions, ballads, and proverbs. The study of folklore began earlier but was developing as an academic discipline in the 19th century, associated with romanticism and nationalism surrounding traditional folk culture.
