Our journal: Folklore
A fully peer-reviewed international journal of folklore and folkloristics, in printed and digital format
Aims and scope
- Folklore is one of the earliest English-language journals in the field of folkloristics, first published as The Folk-Lore Record in 1878.
- Folklore publishes ethnographical and analytical essays on vernacular culture worldwide, specializing in traditional narrative, language, music, song, dance, drama, foodways, medicine, arts and crafts, popular religion, and belief. It reviews current studies in a wide range of adjacent disciplines, including anthropology, cultural studies, ethnology, history, literature, and religion.
- Folklore prides itself on its special mix of reviews, analysis, ethnography, and debate; and its coverage not only of the materials and processes of folklore, but also of the history, methods, and theory of folkloristics.
- Folklore aims to be lively, informative, and accessible, whilst maintaining high standards of scholarship.
