Folklore is the cultural expression of a people, and it makes up
key elements of the stories they tell. Using easily accessible
language, this book defines, separates, and gracefully weaves
together story and folklore. From the ancient world of traveling
bards in Europe, Asia, Africa, and South America, to the
contemporary world of storytelling festivals, fan fiction, and
digital story conferences, this reference unravels confusion
between concepts of folklore and story, and demonstrates how they
are linked. Included are numerous examples and texts, a review of
critical approaches, and a discussion of story in literature and
popular culture. Story informs folklore, and folklore informs
story. The complex relationship between them is compounded by many
definitions and points of view generated by scholars over time.
Humans construct their sense of the world through story, vernacular
transmission, and folklore. Folklore is the cultural expression of
people, and it makes up the key elements of the stories they tell.
Written for high school students and general readers, this
reference conveniently overviews story as a folklore genre.
