Folklore, Literature, and Cultural Theory : Collected Essays, Hardcover by Preston, Cathy Lynn (EDT), ISBN 0824072715, ISBN-13 9780824072711, Like New Used, Free shipping in the US The essays study folkloric traditions and culture from a postmodern, inclusive perspective. Though the introduction has a pure "deconstructionist" tone, the contributors convey real and readable engagement with their subjects which are sometimes highly original: Chuck Berry's method acting, postmodernism and Spalding Gray, graffiti as storytelling, the community of female readers of romance novels, and the complexities of slave spirituals in performance. There are also interesting studies in a more academic vein, considering the work of Julio Cortazar, Milan Kundera, Franz Kafka, Philip Roth, Thomas Hardy, Sandra Cisneros, and Shakespeare. No index.
