Contents The problem of tradition -- Folklore and ideology during the Gilded Age -- The English connection, from cultural survivals to cultural studies -- Studies -- The Americanization of the Brothers Grimm -- Martha Warren Beckwith and the rise of academic authority -- Alfred Shoemaker and the discovery of American folklife -- Henry W. Shoemaker and the fable of public folklore -- Richard Dorson and the great debates -- Displaying American tradition in folk arts.
Summary Following Tradition is an expansive examination of the history of tradition--"one of the most common as well as most contested terms in English language usage"--In Americans' thinking and discourse about culture. Tradition in use becomes problematic because of "its multiple meanings and its conceptual softness." As a term and a concept, it has been important in the development of all scholarly fields that study American culture. Folklore, history, American studies, anthropology, cultural studies, and others assign different value and meaning to tradition.
