Synopsis
This book fills the long-felt need for an organized collection of scholarly studies in American folklore., The distinguished folklorist Jan Harold Brunvand has selected 26 essays, arranged in four sections of increasing sophistication and difficulty, to introduce the beginning student to the best in modern folklore scholarship. As he writes in the Preface: These articles were chosen to illustrate a variety of approaches and folklore genres; they are rich in actual examples of folk materials and are above all well written and thought-provoking. Many are definitive studies, others appeared only recently. The essays include the work of prominent folklorists as well as several student research papers. All provide practical models for student research and writing, and the editor also gives many useful suggestions for student projects in his introductions. The articles are reprinted in full, including the original illustrations; the editor provides a short introduction to each selection as well as additional footnotes to explain unfamiliar terms and allusions to the student.

- o***o (1509)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseThey came pretty quick,and were EXACTLY as described in the listing, but I realized that even though they fit, they are a little too big (YAY!) and Ill have to order the next size down very soon! They were an AWESOME price, especially seeing that the tags on them said $7 each and including delivery & tax, I only paid $17.04 - is THAT a deal, or what?!?! They came fairly quick and packaging survived shipping just fine! THANK YOU!!

- e***e (15)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseI placed this order August 20. It wasn’t shipped until September 3. I received it September 13. Also on August 20 I placed a similar order of dishes from a different seller and received it August 25 along with a lovely thank you note from the seller. Both shipped from similar distances. I’m unclear why it took 2 weeks to start the shipping process for this seller. On the positive side, this order was carefully packed and the dishes were as described. The price for the dishes was very fair.
