Theory and history of folklore

"This book will give Propp's admirers in the English-speakling world a whole new perspective on this distinguished scholar's contribution to folkloristics. Liberman provides the necessary background in terms of Russian/Soviet intellectual (and political) currents to place Propp's work in a new light. No student of structuralism in folklore can afford to miss Liberman's anthology." - Alan Dundes (from cover).
