"For the folklorist, ethnologist, or cultural anthropologist interested in Ireland, the value of (this book) is clear. This is the first book-length investigation of Irish conception of folklore and Irish ethnological research agendas over time. As a study of the historical and sociopolitical contexts in which folklorist discourse emerged and evolved, (this) work has a major role to pay in current reexaminations of the moral, political and philosophical underpinnings of the study of traditional and popular culture in Ireland and elsewhere."
