Book Description
Excerpt from The Heroic Ballads of Russia In this introduction some regard has, as far as possible, been paid to the theory of the essentially multiple origin of folk-lore; that a number of circumstances flow together from all sources and make a character up. Thus a com parison of some hero with a natural feature, with the rays of the red sun, would be the natural glorification of him, but not a proof that he was a mere metaphor of the sun.
