Alan A. Dundes Books

Alan Dundes was a folklorist at the University of California, Berkeley, whose work was central to establishing the study of folklore as an academic discipline. Dundes's research delved into the deep roots of folk traditions and their reflection in modern society. Through his writings, he analyzed themes such as symbolism, rituals, and myths, and their significance for human perception of the world. His approach to folklore was not merely data collection, but a profound interpretation of cultural phenomena.
