Abstract(s)
Folklore and Literature
is a collection of entertaining yet scholarly writing with
something for every student of oral Romance literatures. Its author is well
-
known
for his extensive work in the Hispano
-
Portuguese ballad tradition and his
cycle of
studies on many other medieval and early modern works of popular poetry and
prose (
Celestina, Lozana andaluza
). His expertise, accumulated over long years of
direct contact with folk song and folkways, is on ample display in this ambitiously
sub
titled collection of eight studies, complete with appendices of full texts that
were only partially referred to in the studies, useful end notes, almost thirty pages
of works cited
–
a sign of the extensive preparation that informs this collection
–
and, fin
ally, three indexes: [1] Ballads, Popular Songs, and Folktales; [2]
Euphemisms and Metaphors (a specialty of the author); and [3] Subjects and
Proper Names.
