Yet many of them went quickly out of print after their initial publication in far-flung journals. Brought together for the first time in this volume compiled and edited by Simon Bronner, the selection surveys Dundes's major ideas and emphases, and is introduced by Bronner with a thorough analysis of Dundes's long career, his interpretations, and his inestimable contribution to folklore studies. 606 $aFolklore 615 0$aFolklore. 676 $a398.2 700 $aDundes$b Alan$0483932 701 $aBronner$b Simon J$0801383 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910139898903321 996 $aThe meaning of folklore$94200773 997 $aUNINA
