Table of ContentsReviewsA particular strength of this volume is Bronner's extensive knowledge of the discipline and its historical underpinnings. While he explicitly makes the case for better historical contextualization of the material as part of an ongoing tradition at various points in the volume, its value is made abundantly clear in his analyses. This volume provides an excellent example for students of folklore to show how and why this step is crucial to an analysis of any folk practice or object. In doing so, Bronner has produced a thought-provoking volume that explores the future of our discipline through the lens of its past. In particular, he explores its connections to cognate fields, some of which have been largely overlooked in the discipline as a whole.--Jeanmarie Rouhier-Willoughby, University of Kentucky Journal of Folklore Research Author InformationSimon J.
