Biographical Note
Daniel J. Crowley (1921-1998) was an eminent scholar of folklore, anthropology, and
art history. Having served as professor of anthropology and art history for over
thirty years at the University California, Crowley's contributions to the field of
folklore, anthropology, art history are chronicled in his publications that include
four books and over 350 articles and reviews. Professor Crowley's monograph
I Could Talk Old-Story Good; Creativity in Bahamian
Folklore
is a classic example of a performance-centered folkloristic
ethnography.
While his fieldwork spanned Western Europe, South America, and Polynesia, Crowley was
specifically interested in African and African diaspora communities, with a
concentration in Sub-Saharan Africa and the Caribbean. Crowley's collections of
folktales show a breadth of traditional tales from the Americas and Africa.
Arrangement
Collection is arranged in one series: Research files.
Scope and Content Note
This collection consists of collected folktales Crowley had planned to use to create
a tale-type index. The files appear to be arranged by informant's surname. The
papers in this collection contain animal tales, etiological tales, trickster tales,
and supernatural tales. All files are undated but likely span 1924-1980.
