520 1 $a"In The Flowering Thorn, world authorities explore fifteen different cultures on a series of personal journeys to the heart of one of Europe's richest, most enduring cultural creations." "The Flowering Thorn investigates interpretation, structure and motif, context, version, and transmission; regions, reprints, and repertoires; and the mediating collector, touching upon gender issues, collecting and editing as cultural translation, literary ballads in oral tradition class issues, and dynamic relationships between oral and print sources." "Folklore, history, literature, and technology combine with structuralism and functionalism, repertoire studies, and themes of cultural change to reflect the multidisciplinary nature of the field today."--BOOK JACKET.
