Book Description | Encyclopedia of Folklore and Literature provides an inclusive survey of the authors, works, characters, themes, concepts, and scholarly methods of study associated with folklore. This extensive reference work enables readers to trace from a cross-cultural perspective the influence of folklore on classic and contemporary literature and performance art. A comprehensive index and a list of entries by category allow readers to access information about a particular regional or ethnic literature, a favorite author, or an important literary movement. Entries are cross-referenced, and each includes a selected bibliography that serves as a guide to more in-depth research. |
Editorial Review | Highly recommended." - The Book Report "Thorough-going yet concise, this reference fills an important need . . . Highly recommended for all academic collections as a reference that affords a glimpse into the soul of folk narration." - Library Journal "The intelligent articles should prove useful to students of the folktale, to anyone looking for a fresh approach to the classics, or for multicultural views of the art of storytelling." - School Library Journal "The encyclopedia serves a highly useful purpose in addition to offering a pleasant place to leap and linger. The entries give scholars a quick means by which they can gain a basic understanding of terms, concepts, ideas, and important figures, and they also provide a starting list of references that can provide a valuable entrée into further study." - Journal of Folklore Research |
