Webber draws heavily on the influential work and maverick charisma of Alan Dundes, world famous folklorist who expanded the definitions of both "folk" and "lore" for thousands of folklore students and underscored why lore should be studied ethnographically and aesthetically. Webber's aim is to evaluate the study of folklore as a tool for understanding the lived experience of various "folk" and for questioning, rather than reinforcing, the status quo. Her work, which draws from the rich methods and materials of many disciplines, shows originality, breadth, and a firm grasp of the history of folkloristics.

Review
"Folklore Unbound is a very special book. It could, and should, emerge as a classic that will serve to introduce the discipline of folklore to interested readers of varying backgrounds." --Carl Lindahl, University of Houston
"An insightful, useful overview of the history and development of folklore studies, including recent and contemporary works. Concepts and issues are contextualized. I particularly enjoyed the sections on gender-related narratives and on performance." --Susan Rasmussen, University of Houston
