Folklore and reality
6.99 €
This collection of articles by the distinguished Soviet folklorist Vladimir Yakovlevich Propp (1895–1970) contains the scholar's works devoted to various aspects of folklore theory, primarily the relationship between folklore and reality.
Vladimir Yakovlevich Propp was a prominent Russian philologist, professor at Leningrad University, and one of the founders of the structural-typological approach to folklore studies, which later found wide application in literary criticism. Propp's works on folklore ("Morphology of the Fairy Tale," 1928; "The Historical Roots of the Fairy Tale," 1946; and others) have become a treasure trove of 20th-century world scholarship.
This edition includes selected articles by Vladimir Propp from various years.
"Folklore and Reality" is one of the articles in this collection. In it, the scientist defines the specifics of folklore as a subject of research, the patterns of its development, and establishes the origins of genres, plots, images, and motifs familiar from childhood, using the example of not only Russian but also world folklore.
