It considers the dynamic relations between Peacock and other individuals who had a vested interest in documenting and presenting Newfoundland culture. New knowledge regarding Peacock's life and times facilitates our understanding of this man's immense contribution to both Newfoundland and Canadian folklore scholarship while at the same time allowing researchers to make greater use of the materials he so diligently collected.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Anna Kearney Guigné\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1894725069\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781894725064\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e ISER Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/04\/2008\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 342\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.00lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.70d","brand":"Anna Kearney Guigné","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48440096194815,"sku":"9781894725064","price":29.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_fc3cfaee-c513-4041-b3ab-e104aa4d8434.jpg?v=1777180335","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/folksongs-and-folk-revival-anna-kearney-guignzs-9781894725064","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
