| Abstract: | My title says Polk Dance and Drama because I have long specialized in these interwoven subjects, and because so far as I can judge in a visit to the island, Malta possesses some very good comparative material in these subjects. If there is time l would like to bring in the improvising singers of Malta who I have been able ta hear and compare them with other improvising bards, especially the Basque Bertsularis, and a wonderful bard from Croatia I once heard. If time, also I would like to touch on the tradition of Giants. But one talk of forty minutes will be short indeed and the folklore subjects will perforce be but few. |
