Soft Cover. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Near Fine. 1st Edition. For centuries, the eastern shores of the Baltic Sea have nourished poetic cultures developing oral epic traditions that mostly survived in lays of a few hundred lines but that eventually gave rise to much longer traditional epics. The Maiden's Death Song & The Great Wedding is a manifestation of a long epic format rare in Baltic-Finnish folk poetry and of two alternative storylines. It is also a masterpiece that serves as a reminder of the poetry of a gifted minority culture that tends to be forgotten. Composed by Seto/Setu singer and "song mother" Anne Vabarna (1877 -1964). 529 pp. In English. Small wear to the dust jacket.

Condition: new. Pages: 487 Language: English. On the occasion of the 150th anniversary of the Kalevala thirty experts on comparative epic research from 12 countries met in Turku in August 1999 to debate the role of the Finnish national epic and its scientific significance. The classic bone of contention Is the Kalevala an oral or a literary epic? received the surprising answer, It is neither! The Kalevala belongs among the tradition-oriented epics, along with Homer, Beowulf, the Nibelungenlied and the Eddas. The collator-composers of these traditional epics remained faithful to tradition and faded into the background. 9789517464222.

Hardcover. Condition: New. 695 pages, map ; 24 cm. "How does an illiterate singer produce a long oral epic? What is the origin of his "text", available only for a fleeting moment at its performance? How can a multifaceted oral performance be transformed into a book? The primary oral textualisation and the secondary written codification of the Siri epic, 15,683 lines, are described in detail in the present volume on the basis of recent fieldwork among the speakers of Tulu, a Dravidian language, in southern Karnataka, India. The "oral author", Mr Gopala Naika, is one of the many talented singers of oral epics in Tulunaadu and a possession priest in rituals which use oral epics as their mythical charter and a source of mental therapy.".

Edge-worn dust jacket (fraying, short tears, creases, scuffing), with several scratches and regular shelfwear. -- This volume brings together pioneering contributions from Finnish and Hungarian scholars following their first joint folkloristic symposium in Budapest (1977), offering a multifaceted investigation into oral literature with a focus on genre, structure, and reproduction. The collection opens with a historical overview of Finnish-Hungarian folkloristic collaboration and a theoretical outline by Gyula Ortutay, followed by in-depth analyses grounded in diverse traditions. Lauri Honko compares laments by two sisters to assess how individual variation may exceed regional differences, raising questions about stability and creativity in oral tradition. Aili Nenola-Kallio reveals how the vocabulary of Ingrian laments often presupposes prior familiarity with Kalevala-metre lyrical songs, highlighting genre interdependence. Imre Katona examines European lullabies in relation to theme, performer, poetic structure, and function, proposing a typology based on the singer's intention. Anna-Leena Siikala performs structural analysis on Chukchi shamanic songs using motifemic patterns, contrasting journey-based performance with spirit-possession strategies shaped by audience interaction. Mihály Hoppál investigates genre and context in narrative events, advocating verbal semiotics to analyse storytelling within communal settings. Ildikó Kriza explores legend ballads, distinguishing them from epics and romances by their lack of conflict and their place in a broader religious tradition. Pentti Leino proposes a structural theory of Karelian legends based on communication models and role distribution. Satu Apo tests Propp's morphological method on the tale repertoire of Marina Takalo, finding limits in its ability to handle non-heroic structures. Péter Hajdú examines text-melody interrelations in Nenets shamanic song, illuminating how rhythm and improvisation shape epic transmission. Anikó Balogh discusses the challenges of classifying sagas, stressing the importance of formal criteria and genre boundaries. Vilmos Voigt closes the volume with a groundbreaking framework for a communicative system of folklore genres, incorporating sender, receiver, encoding, message, and context, alongside an extensive bibliography on genre theory. Throughout, this collection highlights how oral literature is simultaneously rule-bound and dynamically reinterpreted, shaped by performance, audience, and transmission conditions. The symposium's dual focus on theory and case study bridges structuralist, semiotic, and ethnographic approaches, demonstrating the shared scholarly language that connects diverse Finno-Ugric traditions. This work anticipates later developments in performance theory and oral-formulaic analysis, offering a foundational reference for future comparative folklore research. -- Contents: Introduction; Die Gesetzmäßigkeiten der mündlichen Überlieferung und ihre Erforschung; The Lament: Problems of Genre, Structure and Reproduction / Lauri Honko; Two Genres for Expressing Sorrow: Laments and Lyrical Songs in Ingria / Aili Nenola-Kallio; Die Wiegenlieder der europäischen Völker; Two Types of Shamanizing and Categories of Shamanistic Songs: A Chukchi Case / Anna-Leena Siikala; Text and Melody in Samoyed Epic Songs (Theses); Gattungsprobleme der Legendenballade; Genre and Context in Narrative Event: Approaches to Verbal Semiotics; Kommunikative Funktion und Strukturmerkmale der Volksepik: Die karelische Legende; Structural Schemes of a Repertoire of Fairy Tales: A Structural Analysis of Marina Takalo's Fairy Tales Using Propp's Model; Einige Fragen zur gattungsmäßigen Sagaklassifikation; On the Communicative System of Folklore Genres.
