uses of folklore?

[Anne L Lounsbery]

Hi all,



Might anyone be able to suggest scholarship on the uses of folklore in
“high” art? I’m not interested in folklore per se; rather, I’d like to find
some readings that could help students understand how and why various
(non-“folk”) writers have drawn on folklore. I will explain Herder, etc.,
but ideally I’d like to find something that analyzes the phenomenon in a
general, perhaps theoretical way.



Please reply off-list to al108 at nyu.edu. Thank you!



Best,

Anne
