Hardcover. Condition: Good. This work is an award winning compendium of authors, concepts, motifs, characters, themes, works, and movements associated with folklore and literature from around the world.Long before the written word existed, humans expressed themselves by telling stories. Handed down through centuries, these stories were woven into the tapestry of everyday life. For close to three centuries, folklore has inspired adaptations to film, operas, ballets, short stories, novels, and poetry. Its no surprise, then, that many folklore scholars consider folklore as original literature-existing before written literature. Most folklorists seem to share the belief that folklore, whether drawn from oral observation or from the written record, is a rich cultural resource that is readily available to creative writers and other artists.The Encyclopedia of Folklore and Literature introduces readers to a selection of authors, characters, themes, works, and movements associated with folklore and literature from around the world. This authoritative work also includes cross-references, an informative introduction, a bibliography, and an index. Students, librarians, and folklore and literary scholars and researchers will welcome this encyclopedia as an essential addition to any reference collection.

Contemporary readers might be surprised to find that many authors' ideas originate in folklore, a genre associated wi th childhood fairy tales from Hans Christian Andersen or the brothers Grimm. In fact, folklore is a richly diverse cultural heritage that infuses the work of such literary giants as Maya Angelou, Charles Dickens, Gabriel Garda Marquez, John Steinbeck, Mark Twain, Joyce Carol Oates, and Alice Walker. Its characters, such as Cinderella, Dracula, King Arthur, and Robin Hood, populate blockbuster films and computer games; its themes, such as the Oedipus complex, the Faustian "pact with the devil,". and ritual murder, fill television plots. Modern troubadours like Bob Dylan and Bruce Springsteen evoke folklore in their ballads about working people's lives. Folklorists have endeavored for decades to collect and preserve the traditions and stories that are an integral part of all cultures. Written by an international team of acclaimed folklorists, ABC~CLIO's 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 crossreferenced, and each includes a selected bibliography that serves as a guide to more in~depth research.

First Edition
First edition, large 8vo, pp. xli, [1], 766; illustrated; fine copy in the dust jacket. Includes bibliographical references and index. Contains entries for authors, titles, national literatures, themes, and motifs in literature and folklore. "This encyclopedia examines the profound influence of folklore on literature. The more than 350 alphabetically arranged entries fall into four categories: writers and literary works that use folklore as a resource or source; concepts that make it easier to look at folklore and literature together; themes and characters that originated in oral literature but are also found in written literature; and scholars who have studied and contributed to the field of folklore and literature. The work concentrates on European and Western themes, including classical Greek and Roman. The introduction discusses the interest and connections between folklore and literature and ends with a bibliography".--"Outstanding Reference Sources : the 1999 Selection of New Titles", American Libraries, May 1999.
