" . . . Wolf and Jensen's English translation of the entire book puts the famous laws into a very useful perspective . . . " ―Choice
" . . . it is full of clever ideas and observations, and alive with the personality of the writer―lucid, astute and fair." ―British Folklore Studies Forum
Olrik's Grundsætninger sets forth a number of the basic principles for the study of folklore and outlines his "epic laws" of oral narrative. With this long-awaited translation, English readers now have available the "rules" which became the foundation of many folklore programs and the basis for the study of folk narrative.
