Folklore and Literature shows how modern folklore supplements an
understanding of the early oral tradition and enhances the
knowledge of the early literature. Besides documenting how writers
incorporated folklore into their works, this book allows us to
understand crucial passages whose learned authors took for granted
a familiarity with the oral tradition, thus enabling us to restore
those passages to their intended meaning.
Studying the vicissitudes of oral transmission in great detail,
this is the first book exclusively dedicated to the relationship
between folklore and literature in a Luso-Brazilian context, taking
into account the pan-Hispanic and other traditions as well.
Some of the folkloric passages included are: Puputiriru;
Celestina; El idolatra de Maria; Remando Vao Remadores; Barca Bela;
Flerida; and Don Duarodos.
