Folklore! The very word captures the imagination and sends the mind on flights of fancy. Dragons, ogres, witches, elves, and heroes and heroines, all featured in legends and folktales, known to anyone who had a story read to them as a child or who saw a film adapted from these tales. And yet, oral traditions and the beliefs they reflect, as well as the customs and magical practices of pre-industrial Europe, are poorly understood by many because this is the realm of the folk, removed from the written record. "Introduction to Folklore" is an overview of oral traditions and beliefs as they manifested in pre-industrial Europe, presented in an approachable way, made available, for the casual reader as well as the specialist. This book is intended to offer readers with an opportunity to learn about how the discipline of folklore, which began with the Brothers Grimm, deals with everything from folktales and legends to calendar customs and magic. By placing material extending from fairytales to myth in perspective, the text ends with discussions of urban legends, UFOs, and Internet folklore.The author draws on the work of his mentor, Sven Liljeblad (1899-2000), himself the student of the great Swedish theoretician Carl Wilhelm von Sydow, who studied under a student of Jacob Grimm. "Introduction to Folklore" opens the door to appreciating the origins of aspects of tradition, many of which remain ingrained in everyday life and yet are poorly understood. And it draws on method and scholarship that has progressed for two centuries, offering insights into popular culture, which need not remain a mystery.Originally published as an e-book in 2014; issued as a softbound book in 2017 with minor revisions. 15 illustrations; bibliography; index.
