Synopsis Folktales of Newfoundland Pbdirect by : J.D.A. Widdowson
This collection of Newfoundland folk narratives, first published in 1996, grew out of extensive fieldwork in folk culture in the province. The intention was to collect as broad a spectrum of traditional material as possible, and Folktales of Newfoundland is notable not only for the number and quality of its narratives, but also for the format in which they are presented. A special transcription system conveys to the reader the accents and rhythms of each performance, and the endnote to each tale features an analysis of the narrator’s language. In addition, Newfoundland has preserved many aspects of English and Irish folk tradition, some of which are no longer active in the countries of their origin. Working from the premise that traditions virtually unknown in England might still survive in active form in Newfoundland, the researchers set out to discover if this was in fact the case.

Synopsis Scottish Tradition Pbdirect by : David Buchan
Scottish folk literature is characterised by a wide range of creative expression: story, song, play and proverb. This anthology, first published in 1984, provides an authoritative introduction to Scottish folk literature, and is unique in that it deals with all the genres intrinsic to Scottish tradition. Its selected texts offer an unusual and diverse enjoyment to the reader, including such forms as wonder tales or Märhcen, classical ballads, riddles, jocular tales, lyric and comic and occupational folksongs, rhymes, historical and supernatural legends, and guisers’ plays. The texts chosen cover the main regional traditions of Lowland Scotland, from Galloway to the Shetlands, and span a number of centuries, through both pre- and post-industrial periods, from a sailor’s worksong of the sixteenth century to modern urban legends just recently recorded. The book is arranged in four sections, on Folk Narrative, Folksong, Folksay, and Folk Drama, each with an introduction and a bibliographical essay setting the material in context and indicating some of its international links. Folk literature itself is brought into firm focus by discussion and generic example, and the anthology as a whole illuminates substantial areas of Scottish social and cultural life.

Synopsis Folktales from western Newfoundland by : Angela Kerfont
Folktales from Western Newfoundland sont des contes populaires inédits racontés par Angela Kerfont de Port-au-Port, et recueillis à Terre-Neuve par Marie-Annick Desplanques. Ces textes qui sont des contes de fées, avec princes, princesses et géants, intéressent aussi bien les amateurs de folklore et ceux qui l'étudient que de jeunes lecteurs. En raison de l'origine française de la conteuse, certains gallicismes apparaissent dans son langage ; ils ont été conservés pour garder le caractère origi¬nal de la narration, mais ont été imprimés en italique pour que les jeunes lecteurs puissent s'exercer à trouver les formes équivalentes en anglais courant. Ces textes ont une grande fraîcheur et leur spontanéité un peu rude dégage une réelle poésie locale.

Synopsis Interpreting Legend Pbdirect by : Timothy Tangherlini
This book, first published in 1994, sets ‘repertoire against raconteur’ in order to explore one of the world’s largest collections of folk literature. The author’s findings, and his creative and synthetic methodologies, enhance greatly our understanding of the world of the legend, and especially the basic question of ‘Who tells what to whom in the form of a legend and why?’ This work is an in-depth exploration of rural Denmark, and provides us with an excellent vantage point from which to understand legends in their cultural contexts and within the lives of their tellers.
