    Michael J Bell•ARTICLE•Journal of American Folklore•2026

    We are used to living in worlds that value justice and reason. We are discovering that Atropos cuts our thread at her whim.

This essay uses Lester's remembrance to describe the impact of Gummere's ballad teaching on the formation of individual character and colle…
