Orals fields ... advice?
Dear All:
I'm currently in the process of putting together my Orals reading lists, and it occurred to me that this was undoubtedly the best possible resource that a graduate student could ask for. I'm planning to make fairy tales and folklore my major field, 19th century fantasy and 20th century science fiction my minor fields; this means that I'm looking for approximately fifty texts in the former, and twenty-five in both the latter, including both primary texts and criticism. I have a fairly good idea of what the key works are, but I figured that it could never hurt to get independent corroboration, or suggestions towards important pieces that I might not be aware of. I'm going to post my in-progress list for fairy tales - it's closest to being complete, at this point - and if there are any gaps, please castigate me, chastise me, and let me know. Thanks in advance - I really appreciate this!
Best,
Helen

Re: Orals fields ... advice?
It may be too focused for your purposes, but I have just finished Tom Shippey's new critical work on Tolkien (sorry, the exact title escapes me, as I don't have the book here -- something unassuming like "The Author of the Century") and it thoroughly covers a lot of ground from the standpoint of the old myth and linguistics that Tolkien plumbed, as well as considering the pagan/Christian contrast in the moral implications, which might be quite useful. I have the idea it would be rewarding to take a peek into anyway, and it's lucid and readable as well.
