Oxford Handbook Site Launched

The “landing site” for the Oxford Handbook of American Folklore and Folklife Studies has gone live today:  http://www.oxfordhandbooks.com/view/10.1093/oxfordhb/9780190840617.001.0001/oxfordhb-9780190840617. Two chapters appear now as samples–Mieder on proverbs and De Caro on folktales–and more should be added in the coming weeks (21 of the 43 chapters are now in press).  In addition, chapters with the keyword of folklore and folklife can be searched at the Oxford Handbooks Online page of www.oxfordhandbooks.com, which should be available to most of you through your institutional databases (usually under the database of Oxford Reference). The print volume with over 1000 pages will be out in 2019. I can also offer as a preview an open-access essay on “The Challenge of American Folklore to the Humanities” for your reading at http://www.mdpi.com/2076-0787/7/1/17.
