"...an extremely useful guide to the intellectual history of the modern era"-Canadian Journal of Sociology Online

"...A unique and singular book. Richard Bauman and Charles Briggs have crafted a wide-ranging and far-reaching work based on years of meticulous research that should be read closely be anyone with an interest in the emergence of "the folk," "folklore," and "folkloristics" in modernizing Europe...It has a prominent place in my library, is it should in anyone's." -David Samuels, University of Massachusetts, Amherst: Journal of American Folklore

Book Description

Argues that conscious development of new ways of thinking about language had a crucial role in modern history, particularly the discovery of how apparently objective differences between languages legitimated social inequalities. The authors' view is that savages and ancients were judged together because they used language similarly (irrational, poetic), in contrast to modern Europeans, who required disciplined language for use in scientific, philosophical and legal projects.
