For centuries scholars had collected folkloristic texts and had commented on them, but they had not tried to formulate a method of investigating folklore. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eFolklore Methodology\u003c\/i\u003e became the handbook for the great Finnish School of folklore research. It provided for its students a guide to the geographical research of traditional materials, a radical departure from the literary scholarship that had dominated folklore studies. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Krohn's book explores the causes and modes of folklore diffusion, development, and destruction; it outlines the influences that cause change in folklore; it provides valuable insights into the nature of folklore; and, finally, it develops geographic methods for analyzing, classifying, and reconstructing individual items from the folk repertoire. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e While many developments have taken place since Krohn first published his guide, important new concepts of folklore research sprang from his efforts. For this reason, \u003ci\u003eFolklore Methodology\u003c\/i\u003e is mandatory reading for every serious student of folklore. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Kaarle Krohn\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0292724322\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780292724327\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Texas Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/01\/1971\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 208\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.50lbs","brand":"Kaarle Krohn","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44044714049791,"sku":"9780292724327","price":19.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_bbbda1a4-f8d8-4920-b9bb-695eaab5ca48.jpg?v=1684974454","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/folklore-methodology-kaarle-krohn-9780292724327","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
