4.9/5 (26606 ratings)

Description:PREFACE TO VOLUME II. A second year of work has enabled me to add twenty-one fresh legends to those already published, and brings to me the task of writing a second preface. A work of this kind grows upon its author. When I commenced printing I expected to have matter enough to fill some 1,200 of such pages as these volumes contain, but now that this much has been accomplished I find that not only is the work very far from complete, but that the lists so far do not by any means include even all the celebrated legends. Matter sufficient to fill Volume III. is already far advanced in preparation, leaving still bulky undigested MSS. to be gone through. Even as I write information comes in of more stories locally of much celebrity, though hitherto unknown to literature; and it is becoming apparent that the comprehensive collection of the Panjabi popular legends is a question of opportunity and patience. Personally I am much encouraged to proceed onwards, and to do what in me lies towards placing the traditions of the Panjabi populations before European students by the very favourable reception that was accorded to my first attempts to grapple with this heavy task. When the former preface was written my other essay to bring Panjabi folktales to public notice was yet in the press, but it has been now published some months, and I have been gratified to find that the views I put forward in Wide-awake Stories met with a ready acceptance in many places. These views the present volumes are intended to emphasize. Briefly they are as follows: -- The collection of folktales should be as comprehensive as possible, detailed, accurate and systematic: the tales thus collected should be separated into two parts -- themes and incidents: these parts should be held to be capable of a separate analysis and treatment, and to have a separate history, though a temporarily joint existence: the method of treating them should be the historical, in order to arrive at the facts of which they are the phenomena: and the manner of investigation should be the collection of these phenomena under fixed heads as they appear at certain ascertained and unquestionably connected eras....We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
