| 520 | |a The first ethnographic study of a northern Italian folk artist and her verbal artistry in their cultural and historical contexts. The focus of this collection of folktales, delightful in their own right, is Clementina Todesco as developing artist. Supplementing the traditional märchen (magic tales) she told as a girl in her remote village in the Italian Alps are the immigration stories that Clementina added to her repertoire after she had left rural Italy for the industrial cities of the New World. More than an anthology of folktales, the study adds information gathered over a ten-year period from the villagers of Faller, from collections of variants of the stories in Italy, and from analogues in published and archival sources in Detroit and Rome. Perhaps the most fascinating addition is a series of interviews with Clementina herself, which help to characterize her as a folk artist. The result greatly enriches our understanding of who tells folktales to whom, why, and how.--From publisher description. | ||
