Folklore and Folklife by Richard Mercer Dorson

Folklore and Folklife by Richard Mercer Dorson

This introduction to the study of folklore and folklife contains an inspiring and spirited mixture of essays, theoretical contributions, practical instructions, and pure encyclopedia articles. It is a very well put together book, written by eighteen researchers who have something to say. One can see here that it is competent educators who have come forward and are narrating. . . . All in all it is a very use-oriented handbook with attractive typography and layout.--Iorn Pio, Journal of American Folklore
