Folklore emphasizes those bodies of North American and European scholarship that have influenced each other most profoundly since the discipline`s inception. The entries provide an introduction that facilitates the pursuit of more specialized topics and other bodies of scholarship.Topics range from such traditional subjects as "festival" and "folktale" to cutting-edge entries such as "computer-mediated folklore" and "postmodernism." In most cases, a longer, more comprehensive essay format for entries has been favored over shorter entries. Entries are cross-referenced, and each includes a select bibliography to serve as a guide to in depth research.
