Review Quotes: The reappearance of a classic, such as Welsch's fine translation of Krohn's Folklore Methodology, is always a significant and welcome event .... Folklore Methodology is [Krohn's] exegetical formulation of the methodology of the Finnish School, its handbook of scientific folklore scholarship .... While both the method and its theoretical implications are subject to comment, criticism, and refutation, Folklore Methodology is a seminal work in folklore analysis.-- "American Anthropologist"
