Motif Index Of Folk Literature: What It Is And What It Does.
Explanation of what a motif index is and what it does, with bibliography.
http://www.folklore.bc.ca/Motifindex.htm

Extractions: Throughout issues of B.C.Folklore many folktales and beliefs have been followed by odd-looking letters and numbers with references made to the Motif Index. These references may not have meant very much to some readers. Consequently we thought we might republish an article that first appeared in BCF explaining what the Motif Index is all about, together with a list of suggested additions to the Motif Index that we have developed during this time. Before such a complex system can work, a huge number of tales must be read, analysed, and, together with details of their source, be entered, piece by piece, into the index. To give some idea of the size of the basic Motif Index, the largest single volume of the six-volume set is the 893-page index to the Index. Finally, all the numbers end with a full stop, e.g. D413.2. This does two things. First, the number is essentially a sentence in itself and therefore the end of the number is the end of the description. It also defines the number and, if the stop is left out, it is not clear that the number is complete. Notwithstanding this rule there are many authors who display a certain lack of discipline by leaving the final point out. When the number is part of a sentence, on the other hand, the stop may be omitted, as Stith Thompson himself has shown. 1. Stith Thompson in Leach 1972, p.753

How To Excell In An Undergraduate Literature Course
Advice from a professor on what to expect and how to excel in college literature courses.

Extractions: Home Page How to Excell in an Undergraduate Literature Course ©Tod E. Jones, Ph.D., 1999 If you are printing any part of this web site for distribution or creating a link to this page, please first obtain the author's permission. If you are quoting from this page, please fully document the web site. Thank you. Questions or comments: tej4@juno.com I: What to Expect Expect to read! When you sign up for a literature course, anticipate spending many hours every week in the company of books. Let this be your one great expectation, and you will not be disappointed. Do you like to read? Do you enjoy stories? Do you feel enriched by having your ideas challenged, by thinking philosophically about the circumstances of life, people, and abstract concepts, or by experiencing the beauty that is possible through the skilled or merely felicitous use of language? If so, then you will probably get along just fine with the company youll be keeping. But, alas, there are other factorsfactors of a decidedly practical aspectthat insist on being taken into consideration. First, there is that most obtrusive time factor. Do you have the time to invest into a literature course? Courses vary, yet it is safe to say that literature will always take whatever time you can give to it, and teachers often demand that you give to it more time than you are inclined or believe that you are capable of giving. Therefore, expect to read even beyond your inclination and supposed capability. Such a conclusion may seem too vague to be helpful, but it is meant to suggest an attitude that may be of benefit when you find that all of your courses have assignments due during the same week. Of course, only you can decide what your schedule will permit, but if you have doubts, allow yourself the liberty of examining the course requirements before you commit yourself.
