摘要

摘要:本文研究了一个以动物为主要形象的故事的历史改编。这篇批判性的系谱图描绘了故事的发展过程，从1648年英国的一本小册子到1824年马萨诸塞州塞勒姆的一份报纸，在那里它变成了一个关于新英格兰感恩节传统的故事。然后，它考虑了这个故事随后的排列和变体，因为它们与一个全国性节日的兴起有关，只是被19世纪后期有关清教徒的叙述所取代。它进一步证明了越来越容易获得的报纸档案对民间叙事的历史研究的效用。

The Devil Is in the Cellar: The Genealogy of an American Thanksgiving Narrative

Abstract:This essay investigates the historical adaptation of a narrative whose primary image is an animal mistaken for the devil. This critical genealogy charts the narrative’s development from a 1648 pamphlet in England to an 1824 newspaper in Salem, Massachusetts, where it transformed into a tale concerning the New England Thanksgiving tradition. It then considers subsequent permutations and variants of that tale as they relate to the rise of a national holiday, only to be supplanted by narratives concerningthe Pilgrims in the late 1800s. It further demonstrates the utility of increasingly accessible newspaper archives for historical research into folk narratives.

期刊介绍： Narrative Culture is a new journal that conceptualizes narration as a broad and pervasive human practice, warranting a holistic perspective that grasps the place of narrative comparatively across time and space. The journal invites contributions that document, discuss and theorize narrative culture, and offers a platform that integrates approaches spread across various disciplines. The field of narrative culture thus outlined is defined by a large variety of forms of popular narratives, including not only oral and written texts, but also narratives in images, three-dimensional art, customs, rituals, drama, dance, music, and so forth. Narrative Culture is peer-reviewed and international as well as interdisciplinary in orientation.
