Folktales of Newfoundland (RLE Folklore) available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. This collection of Newfoundland folk narratives, first published in 1996, grew out of extensive fieldwork in folk culture in the province. The intention was to collect as broad a spectrum of traditional material as possible, and Folktales of Newfoundland is notable not only for the number and quality of its narratives, but also for the format in which they are presented. A special transcription system conveys to the reader the accents and rhythms of each performance, and the endnote to each tale features an analysis of the narrator’s language. In addition, Newfoundland has preserved many aspects of English and Irish folk tradition, some of which are no longer active in the countries of their origin. Working from the premise that traditions virtually unknown in England might still survive in active form in Newfoundland, the researchers set out to discover if this was in fact the case.

Download and read online ebook Folktales from western Newfoundland write by Angela Kerfont. This book was released on 1985. Folktales from western Newfoundland available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Folktales from Western Newfoundland sont des contes populaires inédits racontés par Angela Kerfont de Port-au-Port, et recueillis à Terre-Neuve par Marie-Annick Desplanques. Ces textes qui sont des contes de fées, avec princes, princesses et géants, intéressent aussi bien les amateurs de folklore et ceux qui l'étudient que de jeunes lecteurs. En raison de l'origine française de la conteuse, certains gallicismes apparaissent dans son langage ; ils ont été conservés pour garder le caractère origi¬nal de la narration, mais ont été imprimés en italique pour que les jeunes lecteurs puissent s'exercer à trouver les formes équivalentes en anglais courant. Ces textes ont une grande fraîcheur et leur spontanéité un peu rude dégage une réelle poésie locale.

Download and read online ebook Pathways of Creativity in Contemporary Newfoundland and Labrador write by María Jesús Hernáez Lerena. This book was released on 2015-09-18. Pathways of Creativity in Contemporary Newfoundland and Labrador available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. The Canadian province of Newfoundland and Labrador is a mythologized place that resonates with tragic adventure, polar expeditions and Grand Banks fishing; a real and imagined geography with an incredible artistic output that calls for critical discussion. This book examines the diversity of this province’s literature and culture, taking into consideration the expertise of scholars and writers who have first-hand knowledge of its unique context. Chapters on history, travel, fiction, autobiography, poetry, theatre, storytelling, filmmaking, and the visual arts provide an up-to-date survey across a broad range of artistic endeavours, as well as close readings of selected texts. The questions that fill the pages of Pathways of Creativity in Contemporary Newfoundland and Labrador arise from the awareness its contributors have of historically shared experiences, but also of shared delusions, and their essays provoke contemplation beyond the labels local/global, Newfoundlander/Come-From-Away. Aboriginal histories and writing come to the foreground in this panoramic view that balances descriptions of mainstream, vernacular and Indigenous cultural productions. The final chapter is organized as a multi-voiced interview which serves as a supplement to the academic essays. Here, themes are revisited and personalized as several writers express their feelings about what it means to be a Newfoundlander and an artist. As such, this book will encourage dialogue about Newfoundland and Labrador’s literary and artistic achievements within the international community of readers and researchers.
