Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Two Essays in Folk-Lore: The Fall of Hochelaga, a Study of Popular Tradition; And, "Above" And "Below," A Mythological Disease of Language Set the clouds on fire with redness, And the people from the margin Watched him oating, rising, sinking, Till the birch canoe seemed lifted High into that sea of splendor. We are thus naturally led into a still wider and more important view of the in uence of this remarkable perversion of language on the legendary beliefs and religious Opinions of mankind. In many if not all cases, the belief of each people concerning the future life - that is, concerning the abode of the Spirit after death - is con nected with their belief concerning the origin of mankind, or at least of their own race; and these beliefs are largely influenced by this peculiar confusion in the meaning of words expressive of local rela tions. It should be observed that the terms above and below, as expressing the relative position of places on the surface of the globe, have a different application when used at sea or on the sea coast from that which is customary in the interior of a continent. In the latter case, as has been seen, above or upward signifies upstream, and below down-stream, - as in Upper Egypt and Lower Egypt, Upper Canada and Lower Canada. On the ocean, however, or along the seacoast, these expressions apply to the prevailing winds. The mariner makes his way up against the wind, or down before it. In the temperate zone, where westerly winds prevail, the east is below. The sailors of the Massachusetts seaports invariably speak of the coast of Maine as down east. On the other hand, within the tropics, where the trade-winds blow steadily from the east, the west is below. Many years ago, in studying the legendary history and the religions of the natives of the Pacific Islands, I found their whole mythology colored by the in uence of these expressions.

Download or read book The Selected Writings of Andrew Lang written by Tom Hubbard and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-12-08 with total page 210 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A novelist, poet, literary critic and anthropologist, Andrew Lang is best known for his publications on folklore, mythology and religion; many have grown up with the ‘colour’ Fairy Books which he compiled between 1889 and 1910. This three volume set presents a selection of his work in these areas. As a companion to the first volume, the second is comprised of various case studies made by Lang, ranging from ‘The Aryan Races of Peru’ and ‘The Folk-lore of France’ to ‘Irish Fairies’ and ‘The Ballads, Scottish and English’. Collectively, the General Introduction to the set and the Introductions to the individual volumes offer a thorough overview of Lang’s work in an astonishing variety of fields, including his translation work on Homer and his contributions to historiography (particularly Scottish). Headnotes to the individual items are of varying length and provide more detail on specific topics, and explanatory notes supply unique intellectual comment rather than merely factual information.

Book excerpt: Essay from the year 2015 in the subject English Language and Literature Studies - Literature, grade: 2,0, University of Cologne, language: English, abstract: Fairy tales and ancient myths are traditional narratives that consist of literary and oral descent. Both genres are dealing with supernatural/magical aspects in their content. The following essay examines the characteristics of fairy tales and myths by giving an explanation of the term “myth” in order to summarize shortly the current state of research regarding similarities and differences between myths and fairy tales. In the following, those aspects shall be used to answer the question if it is possible to put myths and fairy tales in a direct context to each other, by a comparison of the myth of Heracles and the fairy tale of Jack and the Beanstalk.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A novelist, poet, literary critic and anthropologist, Andrew Lang is best known for his publications on folklore, mythology and religion; many have grown up with the ‘colour’ Fairy Books which he compiled between 1889 and 1910. This three volume set presents a selection of his work in these areas. The first volume covers the general and theoretical aspects of Lang’s work on folklore, mythology and anthropology along with the tools and concepts which he used in his often combative contributions to these inter-related disciplines. Collectively, the General Introduction to the set and the Introductions to the individual volumes offer a thorough overview of Lang’s work in an astonishing variety of fields, including his translation work on Homer and his contributions to historiography (particularly Scottish).

Download or read book Oral Patterns of Performance written by Barre Toelken and published by University Press of Colorado. This book was released on 2015-02-15 with total page 57 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: To many Native American cultures, songs and stories are dramatic enactments of reality, and words bring reality into existence. In this chapter from his award-winning book, The Anguish of Snails, Toelken thoughtfully approaches a number of stories from Native American traditions, discussing how narratives can be touchstones of shared values among closely associated traditional people and how songs and stories go far beyond an evening's entertainment or "lessons” about life. A traditional narrative can be a culturally structured way of thinking and of experiencing the patterns that make culture real.
Download or read book Turandot s Sisters written by Christine Goldberg and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-06-03 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There are a number of outstanding dissertations in folklore which warrant a wider readership and which belong in the library of any educational institution or individual with a serious interest in folklore. A few of these are in fact already well known to professional folklorists who may have bothered to send for them through inter-library loan or in more recent times purchased copies from University Microfilms International in Ann Arbor, Michigan. However, it should be noted that not all dissertations are available through UMI. The appearance for selected folklore dissertations and theses, both old and new, in the Folklore Library series will make it much easier for libraries and individuals to obtain these significant studies. Among the most important hitherto unpublished folklore dissertations are such works as motif and/or tale type indices, historic-geographic (comparative) in-depth studies of single folktales or ballads, and surveys of specialized folklore scholarship e.g., of a particular country or group. There are in addition valuable filed collections of folklore data to be found in dissertations. First published in 1993. Routledge is an imprint of Taylor & Francis, an informa company.
