Completed shortly before de Angulo’s death, the work has survived only in fragments, divided between an abridged 1953 publication and a limited edition from the 1970s. This new reconstituted edition gives contemporary readers—whether interested in experimental literature, linguistics, cultural anthropology, or Native American history—their first chance to engage with the complete work.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eStructured around children’s stories inspired by the Indigenous tales and legends de Angulo encountered directly during his studies, \u003ci\u003eOld Time Stories\u003c\/i\u003e uses illustrations, different typefaces, and other experimental formatting techniques to translate rich oral and pictographic traditions into the condensed form of print. Beyond its significance as an innovative work of American literary modernism, it interrogates the colonialist foundations of Western modernity through this very reworking of Western literary conventions.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The University of Chicago Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Product","offer_id":57521568416088,"sku":"9780226851600","price":104.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/old-time-stories-1","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
