ANDERSON, GRAHAM; COSTA, DESMOND - Folktale As a Source of Graeco-Roman Fiction the Origin of Popular Narrative

Edwin Mellen Press, 2007. Hardcover. ISBN: 0773453725. 0.75 x 9 x 6.25 Inches; 280 pages; For over a century, research in Ancient Fiction has concentrated on the literary aspects of the texts available to us. Ancient novels had their roots traced to a number of literary genres, including Epic, Euripidean Romantic drama, and New Comedy. The studies collected in this work look instead at the relationship between formal fiction and popular storytelling. Connections between these two forms of literature were prevalent in various cultures in antiquity, and also reemerged in the significant quantities of folk- and fairy-tales from the Renaissance onwards.. Fine with no dust jacket .
