Description
These seventeen essay, written between 1922 and 1953, are among Roheim's most significant published writings and are collected here for the first time to introduce a new generation of folklorists and anthropologists to his unique interpretations of myths, folktales, and legends.
Reviews"For those who have not previously read Roheim and who have at least an open mind on the possibility of applying psychoanalytic theory to folklore, you have an exciting intellectual treat in store for you. Once having read Roheim, you will never be able to look at folklore again as you did before exposure to these remarkable essays."-Alan Dundes, from the Introduction
