Minnesota 1988. This is a rich compendium of hundreds of legends, stories, beliefs, and magic collected from oral sources in preindustrial Scandinavia (Denmark, the Faeroe Islands, Finland, Iceland, Norway, and Sweden). In an extensive introduction the editors outline the political history of the region and describe the primary features of the traditonal rural social structure. Also discussed are the categories of folk forms, and their cultural function. Unlike most collections of Nordic folklore, this volume focuses on beliefs that illustrate the central aspects of the traditional worldview, rather than on prose narratives recognized as literature. “This book will be warmly welcomed by scholars and the general public alike ... a stupendous investment of skills and time.”- Scandinavian- American Bulletin., English, Year1988, Illust.
