Description
'Deutsche Volkskunde als Erschließerin deutscher Kultur' by Karl von Spieß is a study of German folklore, traditional customs, folk art, mythology and oral traditions. First published in 1934 and reissued in 1943, the book examines these cultural materials through the author’s theories about Germanic heritage, language and racial identity. Written during a period when folklore scholarship was increasingly entangled with nationalist and racial ideology, it is also a historical document of the intellectual climate in which it appeared.
