Tales, Rumors, and Gossip: Exploring Contemporary Folk Literature in Grades 7-12
Gail de Vos
After a fascinating overview and discussion of contemporary legends (commonly referred to as modern urban legends and often told as true), de Vos examines them in their relationship to rumors and gossip, ostension (acting out the legends), the role of the media in formulation and dissemination, and related tales (e.g., literary horror tales).
