Beskrivning

The growth of nations, national ideologies and the accompanying quest for the ‘authentic’ among ‘the people’ has been a subject of enquiry for many disciplines. Building upon wide-ranging scholarship, this interdisciplinary study seeks to analyse the place of folklore in the long nineteenth century throughout Europe as an important symbol in the growth and development of nations and nationalism, and in particular to see how combining perspectives from History, Literary Studies, Music and Architecture can help provide enhanced and refreshing perspectives on the complex process of nation-building. With a range of detailed case studies drawing upon archival, literary, visual and musical sources as well as material culture, it raises questions about individual countries but also about links and similarities across Europe.

Recensioner i media

"For anyone interested in the role that nationalism played in the development of nineteenth century folklore, or vice versa, the role that folklore played in the rise of nationalism and transnationalism, this is the book for you. [...] There are seventeen essays in this "fabulous" book edited by Timothy Baycroft and David Hopkin -- fabulous because the essays are all gems and contain an incredible treasure of insights into neglected topics that need more attention by researchers from different fields." - Jack Zipes, University of Minnesota, in: Marvels & Tales, spring 2014
