| Summary |
This title starts from the proposition that folklore - usually thought of in its historical social context as 'oral tradition' - is easily appropriated, recycled, into other contexts. The book discusses the larger issue of folklore being recycled into non-folk contexts, and proceeds to look at a number of instances of repurposing. |
