Scandinavian Folk Belief and Legend

Scandinavian Folk Belief and Legend - Scandinavian Folk Belief and Legend
The bulk of the legends and other texts in this book represent rural oral traditions and folk beliefs of preindustrial Scandinavia.

Most were collected from oral sources between the mid-nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.

The final chapter, however, contains samples of narratives that are told in Scandinavia today, demonstrating the continuity of tradition as well as the changes wrought by the industrialization and urbanization of Scandinavian society.
