DOWNLOAD EBOOKExcerpt from The Journal of American Folk-Lore, 1921, Vol. 20 All 's fair in love and war is, perhaps, the most famous, though not the oldest of all proverbs. It is also the most inclusive, for it appeals alike to the founders and to the destroyers of human socie ties. The revelations of our divorce courts and the discussion evoked by such books as Mr. Allen's The Mettle of the Pasture, the cap ture of Aguinaldo and other incidents of the campaign in the Philip pines, and the wiles of party politics throughout the nation furnish striking examples of individual and collective faith in the ethics of this trite saying. The association of war and love in the same adage corresponds, in its rudest and simplest form, to the practice once in vogue among certain Californian Indians of arousing in themselves the proper war mood by singing, Let's go carry off the young women! With many barbarous tribes and peoples in the early stages of civiliza tion wife getting is the motive of innumerable war expeditions and the cause of endless intertribal disputes. Indeed, some author ities have looked on this as the prime reason for war in the begin nings of culture. The rape of the Sabine women, the carrying-off of Helen, and the events chronicled or remembered in Irish legend, English ballad, German fairy-tale, and Slavonic folk-song find their analogues all over the globe.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKVolume two explores the way a wide range of classic princess tales written by marginalized writers. Rapunzel and Snow White, with their pale skin or long ropes of golden hair, are particularly popular vehicles for exploring and challenging racialized constructions of beauty. Marriage is the traditional vehicle of a happy ending in Princess tales, so marginalized responses to these tales also inherently respond to the doubly colonized position of women in the Anglophone world. The institution of marriage typically exposes the institutional oppression of colonized women. Authors include Charles Chesnutt, Jessie Fauset, Julia Kavanaugh, George Edwards, some of the unpublished manuscripts of Jewish-Australian author Joseph Jacobs, and the earliest work of Sinèad de Valera, as well as fin-de-siècle illustrators such as Harry Clarke, and collected oral tales.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKExcerpt from The Journal of American Folk-Lore, 1928, Vol. 27 Conspicuous among the very striking features of primitive mythologies is the ingenious way in which tales are employed to explain the various facts and fancies familiar to primitive folk. In our own European folk-tales this Function has been to some degree lost; and in the cases where "explanations of phenomena" are a part of our folk-tales, the explanations themselves sometimes concern rather trifling things. For an example I might mention "The Story of the Straw, the Coal, and the Bean," - a favorite in Grimm's familiar "Household Talcs," - which tells why the bean to-day has a curious scam around it.1 With primitive folk the case is otherwise. In connection, perhaps, with a more solemn attitude toward folk-lore of all sorts, we find a large number of stories devoted to the explanation of serious matters, and we find such explanations treated with respect. I should like to give as an example one that is often quoted, from the folk-lore of British Columbia. The Black Bear and the Chipmunk once contended against each other, the former for darkness, the latter for light. The Bear cried, "Lipa, Lipa, L.ipa!" and the Chipmunk, "Ma'a, ina'a, ma'a!" The Bear, finding that the Chipmunk was his equal in the possession of magic powers, finally became enraged, and would have killed his adversary: but the Chipmunk was too quick for him, and ran into his hole just as the Bear made a dash for him. The Bear scratched the Chipmunk when going into his hole. This is the origin of the present stripes on the chipmunk's back. If the Bear had managed to kill the Chipmunk, we should have had eternal darkness instead of day and night, as we have at present. This myth has the outward appearance of having been devised to account for certain definite facts. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
