{"product_id":"folklore-in-utah","title":"Folklore in Utah","description":"\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOver thirty scholars examine the development of folklore studies  through the lens of over one hundred years of significant activity in a  state that has provided grist for the mills of many prominent  folklorists. In the past the Folklore Society of Utah has examined the  work of such scholars in biographical and other essays published in its  newsletters. This book incorporates those essays and goes well beyond  them to include many other topices, offering a thorough history of  folklore studies and a guide to resources for those pursuing research in  Utah now and in the future.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe essays survey the development and contributions of folklore  studies in Utah from 1892 to 2004 but also represent developments in  both academic and public-sector folklore throughout the United States.  Following a thorough historical introduction, part I profiles the first  folklorists working in the state, including Hector Lee, Thomas Cheney,  Austin and Alta Fife, Wayland Hand, and Lester Hubbard. Part II looks at  the careers of prominent Utah folklorists Jan Harold Brunvand, Barre  Toelken, and William B. Wilson, as well as the works of the next,  current generation of folklorists. Part III covers studies in major  folklore genres, with essays on the study of material culture,  vernacular architecture, and Mormon, ethnic, Native American, and Latino  folklore. Part IV examines public folklore programs including  organizations, conferences, and tourism. Back matter describes academic  programs at Utah institutions of higher education, summarizes the  holdings of the various folklore archives in the state, and provides a  complete cross-indexed bibliography of articles, books, and recordings  of Utah folklore.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"David Stanley","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54299186200868,"sku":"9780874215885","price":23.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/indiepubs.co.uk\/products\/folklore-in-utah","provider":"IndiePubs UK","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
