Text of the page (random words):
riedrich ranke 13 and will erich peuckert 14 followed grimm s example in focussing solely on the literary narrative an approach that was enriched particularly after the 1960s 15 by addressing questions of performance and the anthropological and psychological insights provided in considering legends social context questions of categorising legends in hopes of compiling a content based series of categories on the line of the aarne thompson folktale index provoked a search for a broader new synthesis in an early attempt at defining some basic questions operative in examining folk tales friedrich ranke de in 1925 16 characterised the folk legend as a popular narrative with an objectively untrue imaginary content a dismissive position that was subsequently largely abandoned 17 compared to the highly structured folktale legend is comparatively amorphous helmut de boor noted in 1928 18 the narrative content of legend is in realistic mode rather than the wry irony of folktale 19 wilhelm heiske 20 remarked on the similarity of motifs in legend and folktale and concluded that in spite of its realistic mode legend is not more historical than folktale in einleitung in der geschichtswissenschaft 1928 ernst bernheim asserted that a legend is simply a longstanding rumour 21 gordon allport credited the staying power of some rumours to the persistent cultural state of mind that they embody and capsulise 22 thus urban legends are a feature of rumour 23 when willian hugh jansen suggested that legends that disappear quickly were short term legends and the persistent ones be termed long term legends the distinction between legend and rumour was effectively obliterated tangherlini concluded 24 christian legenda edit main article legendary hagiography in a narrow christian sense legenda things to be read on a certain day in church were hagiographical accounts often collected in a legendary because saints lives are often included in many miracle stories legend in a wider sense came to refer to any story that is set in a historical context but that contains supernatural divine or fantastic elements 25 oral tradition edit main article oral tradition history preserved orally through many generations often takes on a more narrative based or mythological form over time 26 an example being the oral traditions of the african great lakes urban legend edit main article urban legend urban legends are a modern genre of folklore that is rooted in local popular culture usually comprising fictional stories that are often presented as true with macabre or humorous elements these legends can be used for entertainment purposes as well as semi serious explanations for seemingly mysterious events such as disappearances and strange objects the term urban legend as generally used by folklorists has appeared in print since at least 1968 27 jan harold brunvand professor of english at the university of utah introduced the term to the general public in a series of popular books published beginning in 1981 brunvand used his collection of legends the vanishing hitchhiker american urban legends their meanings 1981 to make two points first that legends and folklore do not occur exclusively in so called primitive or traditional societies and second that one could learn much about urban and modern culture by studying such tales the tale of the white lady who haunts union cemetery is a variant of the vanishing hitchhiker legend bahay na pula in the philippines is believed to be haunted by all those who were murdered and raped by the japanese army within the property during world war ii related concepts edit giants mata and grifone celebrated in the streets of messina italy the second week of august according to a legend are founders of the sicilian city the mediaeval legend of genevieve of brabant connected her to treves hippolyte delehaye distinguished legend from myth the legend on the other hand has of necessity some historical or topographical connection it refers imaginary events to some real personage or it localizes romantic stories in some definite spot 28 from the moment a legend is retold as fiction its authentic legendary qualities begin to fade and recede in the legend of sleepy hollow washington irving transformed a local hudson river valley legend into a literary anecdote with gothic overtones which actually tended to diminish its character as genuine legend 29 stories that exceed the boundaries of realism are called fables for example the talking animal formula of aesop identifies his brief stories as fables and not legends the parable of the prodigal son would be a legend if it were told as having actually happened to a specific son of a historical father if it included a donkey that gave sage advice to the prodigal son it would be a fable citation needed legend may be transmitted orally passed on person to person or in the original sense through written text jacobus de voragine s legenda aurea or the golden legend comprises a series of vitae or instructive biographical narratives tied to the liturgical calendar of the roman catholic church they are presented as lives of the saints but the profusion of miraculous happenings and above all their uncritical context are characteristics of hagiography the legenda was intended to inspire extemporized homilies and sermons appropriate to the saint of the day 30 see also edit legendary saga legendary creature lists of legendary creatures the matter of britain arthurian legend matter of france narrative history non

of an exaggerated or unreliable account of some actually or possibly historical person often a saint monarch or popular hero legends are sometimes distinguished from myths in that they concern human
