Jon Corelis A folklore book shelf (13) A folkl music and folklore book shelf 06 Mar 12


I thought some members of this forum might be interested in a Google Books book shelf I've been putting together, which consists of older books on folklore and folk music, the full text of which is available free from Google books.

I've decided to share it since, despite Google's famous search capabilities, these things are often tricky to find -- I keep finding new things that I missed in previous searches.

The books currently are mostly Greek, British, and Celtic (including Breton) folklore, though I may branch out into other fields. Currently the contents are sort of in a jumble, but later I make various sub-groups, each with its own shelf. Accordingly, rather than give a link to that specific bookshelf, I'm giving a link to my whole library, from which you can click on the link to the "Folk music and folklore" shelf. If I create more book shelves later for subgroups, materials of interest to mudcatters will all be on book shelves named "Folk..." something.

If there seems to be any interest in this, I may post updates about changes. My bookshelves should be publicly available; please let me know if there is any problem accessing them.

My library is here.
