"The Poetics of Folklore" is a landmark work by V. Ya. Propp, written over several decades.
This study addresses general issues of folklore theory and the methodological challenges of folklore studies. The author examines numerous ballads, legends, and historical songs, revealing new facets of familiar and everyday phenomena. Propp offers his own interpretation of the specifics of folklore as an object of study, describes in detail the development trends of oral folklore, and identifies the roots of ubiquitous genres, symbols, and narratives.
This book will be useful to students and scholars studying anthropology, cultural studies, and literary studies, as well as to a wide range of readers.
