""The Folk is simply a name for our ignorance..."
Quoting an anthologist of fairy tales is meaningless Jag
The rerm has been accepted as correct since the first half of the 19th century - Jacobs was very much in the minority and his opinions need to be weighed against that reality - some would put them on par with his highly enjoyable fairy tales
You are still studiously avoiding examining the culture of the 'mythological' 'folk'- why ?
