Description

The Folktale by Stith Thompson is a comprehensive study of the origins, evolution, and diverse forms of folktales from around the world. The book explores the cultural and historical contexts in which folktales have emerged, and the ways in which they have been shaped by the beliefs, values, and traditions of different societies.Thompson's analysis covers a wide range of folktales, including myths, legends, fables, and fairy tales, and he examines the various themes, motifs, and archetypes that are common to many of these stories. The book also explores the ways in which folktales have been transmitted and adapted over time, and the role they have played in shaping cultural identity and social values.In addition to providing a detailed survey of folktales from different regions of the world, The Folktale also includes a comprehensive index of tale types and motifs, making it an invaluable resource for scholars and students of folklore and comparative literature. With its engaging style and rich insights into the world of folktales, this book is a must-read for anyone interested in the power of storytelling and the enduring appeal of these timeless tales.This is a new release of the original 1946 edition.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
