A Tennessee Folklore Sampler
Author: Ted Olson
Publisher: Univ. of Tennessee Press
ISBN: 1572336684
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 458
Book Description
Since 1934 the Tennessee Folklore Society Bulletin has been a respected source on the wonderfully diverse history and traditions of the Volunteer State, but until now that publication's wide-ranging articles have been largely restricted to the society's membership. With the appearance of A Tennessee Folklore Sampler, editors Ted Olson and Anthony P. Cavender provide a broad audience with a rich selection of the work published over the course of this acclaimed journal's seventy-five-year history. Packed with colorful descriptions and analysis of the state's folkways, A Tennessee Folklore Sampler covers all three of the grand divisions of Tennessee--East, Middle, and West-- and includes articles by some prominent students of folklore, among them Charles Wolfe, Charles Faulkner Bryan, Thomas Burton, Donald Davidson, Herbert Halpert, Mildred Haun, Michael Lofaro, Michael Montgomery, and Tom Rankin. Following an introductory section that places the book into historical, cultural, and socioeconomic contexts, A Tennessee Folklore Sampler is divided into ten parts covering material culture, medicine, beliefs and practices, customs, play and recreation lore, speech, legends, ballad and song, instrumental traditions and music collecting, and folk communities. Each part begins with an introduction that places the selections in context and concludes with suggestions for further reading. The appendix features an essay that explores the history of the Tennessee Folklore Society and the evolution of folklore studies of the state. The anthology will be a welcome resource for folklorists and scholars in many fields as well as a special treasure for general readers. With more than sixty illustrations complementing the text, A Tennessee Folklore Sampler presents a vivid overview of Tennessee folk culture that illuminates the very soul of the state. Ted Olson is the author of Blue Ridge Folklife and Breathing in Darkness: Poems, and the coeditor of The Bristol Sessions: Writings about the Big Bang of Country Music. He teaches at East Tennessee State University. Anthony P. Cavender is professor of anthropology in the Department of Sociology and Anthropology at East Tennessee State University. He is the author of Folk Medicine in Southern Appalachia and has published articles in Social Science and Medicine, Journal of Folklore Research, Journal of Ethnopharmacology, Human Organization, Appalachian Journal, and American Speech, among others.

Pages : 260
Book Description
Our new home was supposed to be a chance to leave our past behind. But was moving here the worst mistake of our lives? All our friends and family were gathered, glasses raised to toast our fresh start. It should have been a night for happiness and celebration. Zac and I had worked so hard for this: our first home together, just minutes from the sea. But the dream quickly turned into a nightmare... We'd invited our neighbours too. I wanted to make a good impression - to show them we're exactly the sort of people they want living on their street. I hadn't thought about who they might be, the strangers I was letting in. It was going so well. There was laughter in the air and the wine was flowing. But then I noticed the narrowed eyes, the whispers. And then the lights went out. As my heart thumped in my chest, all the little things that had been going wrong since we moved here flashed through my mind: the food poisoning, the arguments, the flood of nasty reviews shaking my business. Am I going crazy? Or is someone trying to destroy us? From the USA Today bestselling author Shalini Boland comes an absolutely heart-thumping psychological thriller with a twist you won't see coming. Perfect for fans of The Girl on the Train, Gone Girl and The Wife Between Us. Readers love Shalini Boland: 'WHAT A THRILLER!!!!... caused me sleepless nights because I couldn't put it down!!' Goodreads reviewer, ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 'Oh my!!! Wow!!! Let's all hail Queen Shalini because this is another absolutely FANTASTIC book... A truly brilliant masterpiece' Little Miss Book Lover 87, ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 'Boy this Shalini Boland woman sure knows how to write a book!!!!!!... That ending, wow!!!!!' Goodreads reviewer, ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 'Wow!! Where to even start?!?... It kept me up most of the night!!!... I LOVED IT!!!!' Kirsty Whitlock, ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
