Proverbs: A Handbook by Wolfgang Mieder Book Description Just about everyone has heard at least one
proverb, and most people have heard more. Proverbs offer a concise
record of folk wisdom and have appeared in oral tradition, literature,
art, and popular culture for centuries. One of the most varied and
fascinating types of folklore, proverbs are studied at all levels and
are of interest to a wide range of audiences. Written by the foremost
authority on proverbs, this reference gives high school students,
undergraduates, and general readers a concise yet comprehensive
overview of proverbs in world culture. The volume begins with
definitions and classifications of proverbs and a discussion of their
origin and dissemination. It then discusses several representative
proverbs from around the world. This is followed by a review of
scholarship on proverbs. The book next looks at how several proverbs
have appeared in political speeches, literature, popular culture, and
everyday life. The handbook closes with a bibliography of print and
electronic resources and a glossary. Included are numerous photos
illustrating the role of proverbs around the world. (Amazon.com).
