Jan Harold Brunvand Books
Jan Harold Brunvand is an emeritus professor of English renowned for popularizing the concept of the urban legend, or modern folklore. Prior to his work, folktales were associated with ancient times or rural cultures; Brunvand's breakthrough was applying academic folklore concepts to stories circulating in the modern world. His pioneering work took folklore from the past and demonstrated its vibrant presence in our contemporary digital age.
