About the Book

THIS work is a welcome addition to the folk-lorist's library, especially for such students as are unacquainted with German, and to whom the numerous publications of Dr. Veckenstedt for the Western and Dr. Krauss for the Southern Slavs are therefore a sealed book. Mr. Wratislaw's versions read pleasantly, and the translation has received Mr. Morrill's approval, so that it may be accepted as faithful and scholarly. Mr. Wratislaw's editorial work is slight and meagre, and what might easily have become an epoch-making work in the study of storyology, remains a useful collection of materials, a charming story-book, but nothing more. As Mr. Wratislaw says in his preface, the present volume is an Englishing of Erben's pan-Slavonic reading-book. Erben of course grouped examples of the same dialect together. The translator has done the same, and we have in consequence close variants of the same theme separated from each other by the whole breadth of the book. Some scientific classification should have been adopted for the stories, and variants of one theme should have been arranged either geographically (from north to south or from east to west) or chronologically, according to the age and greater or less elaboration of the literature to which they belong. A ready means would thus have been afforded of testing certain developments of the borrowing theory. Mr. Wratislaw repeatedly re-echoes the complaint of Slavonic scholars that Grimm and other Germans have enriched the Teutonic folk-store at the expense of the Slavonic. Such complaints betray ignorance of the points really at issue. Speaking with some confidence, I doubt whether the märchen-store of any European race contains as much as ten per cent, of elements peculiar to itself; if to märchen we add heroic and mythic sagas we may get, as in the case of Celts and Lithuanians, as much as twenty-five or thirty per cent, of special elements, but in no -- case, I fancy, more. And until Slavonic tales have been more rigorously classified and analysed than has hitherto been the case, it is premature to talk of special elements in Slavonic folk-tales. --Archaeological Review, Volume 4
