The practice of mumming or "janneying" is a world-wide phenomenon connected with religion, ritual and drama.  Derived from the British and Irish customs now almost extinct, the Newfoundland mumming tradition, which is still a vital part of the island's culture, offers a unique opportunity for observing the practice.  This study approached the living folk tradition from three directions.  HERBERT HALPERT is the Head of the Department of Folklore at the Memorial University of Newfoundland, Canada.

Folktales of Newfoundland (RLE Folklore): The Resilience of the Oral Tradition (Routledge Library Editions: Folklore)

This collection of Newfoundland folk narratives, first published in 1996, grew out of extensive fieldwork in folk culture in the province. The intention was to collect as broad a spectrum of traditional material as possible, and Folktales of Newfoundland is notable not only for the number and quality of its narratives, but also for the format in which they are presented. A special transcription system conveys to the reader the accents and rhythms of each performance, and the endnote to each tale features an analysis of the narrator’s language. In addition, Newfoundland has preserved many aspects of English and Irish folk tradition, some of which are no longer active in the countries of their origin. Working from the premise that traditions virtually unknown in England might still survive in active form in Newfoundland, the researchers set out to discover if this was in fact the case.
