As an especially beautiful and pure example of the archaic epic
styles that were once current among the hunting and fishing peoples
of northern Asia, the Ainu epic folklore is of immense literary
value. This collection and English translation by Donald Philippi
contains thirty-three representative selections from a number of
epic genres including mythic epics, culture hero epics, women's
epics, and heroic epics. This is the first time, outside of Japan,
that the Ainu epic folklore has been treated in a comprehensive
manner. Originally published in 1979. The Princeton Legacy Library
uses the latest print-on-demand technology to again make available
previously out-of-print books from the distinguished backlist of
Princeton University Press. These editions preserve the original
texts of these important books while presenting them in durable
paperback and hardcover editions. The goal of the Princeton Legacy
Library is to vastly increase access to the rich scholarly heritage
found in the thousands of books published by Princeton University
Press since its founding in 1905.
