The Hasluck Collection of Albanian Folktales (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781512002287)

The Scottish scholar and anthropologist, Margaret Masson Hasluck, n馥 Hardie, also known as Peggy Hasluck (1885-1948), lived in Albania from 1923 to 1939. Of Margaret Hasluck's scholarly publications, mention may be made of the now rather outdated "K?dime Englisht-Shqip or Albanian-English Reader: Sixteen Albanian Folk-stories, Collected and Translated, with Two Grammars and Vocabularies," Cambridge 1931; and the rare "Albanian Phrase Book," London 1944. She published numerous articles on Albanian folk culture in Man: the Journal of the Royal Anthropological Society and elsewhere. Hasluck is remembered primarily for her "The Unwritten Law in Albania: a Record of the Customary Law of the Albanian Tribes," Cambridge 1954, the first English-language monograph devoted to Albanian customary law and the Kanun. Her archives are kept at the Taylor Institution of Oxford University and her photography collection is preserved at the Royal Geographical Society in London.
