Tside our present scope, and can best be studied in connection with the mythology of the _Lyke-wake Dirge_ in Thomas Wright's _St. Patrick's Purgatory_ (1844). The popularity of the story is attested by accounts extant in some thirty-five Latin and English MSS. in the British Museum, in the Bodleian, at Cambridge, and at Edinburgh. Calderon wrote a drama round the myth, _El Purgatorio de San Patricio_; Robert Southey a ballad; and an early poem of George Wither's, lost in MS., treated of the same subject. Recently the tale has received attention in G. P. Krapp's _Legend of St. Patrick's Purgatory_, Baltimore, 1900. A correspondent in _Notes and Queries_, 9th Ser., xii. 475 (December 12, 1903), remarks that the 'liche-wake' is still spoken of in the Peak district of Derbyshire.
