Description: "In the words of one prominent scholar, Alan Dundes's "essays virutally created the meaning of folklore as an American academic discipline." This selection of those essays surveys his major ideas and emphases. Simon Bronner frames them with a thorough discussion and analysis of Dundes's career, interpretations, and contributions to folklore studies."--Jacket.
