Taking Stock: 1996 American Folklore Society Presidential Address
This talk considers the changes in the folklore field over the past 35 years: its increasing professionalization with the growth offolklore courses in universities and colleges, the development of the public sector, and increasing activism as many members of the social movements of the 1960s and 1970s have become folklorists. Despite the growth of the field, it still remains marginal-for both internal and external reasons. However, iffolklore is …

When it can be established that a folktale is anchored in fact it may …
