Description
Title: The Story of a Marriage - Vol 1: The letters of Bronislaw Malinowski and Elsie Masson. Vol I 1916-20 Editor: Helena Wayne Paperback: 216 pages Publisher: Routledge (March 14, 1995) Language: English ISBN-10: 0415120764 ISBN-13: 978-0415120760 Description: Malinowski was one of the founders of 20th-century social anthropology, a prolific writer, and an influential intellectual in both Europe and the United States. The first volume of these letters (thoughtfully edited by his daughter) comprises the correspondence between him and his then-fiancee (later his wife) during his original field research in Papua New Guinea's Trobriand Islands. Because this research may well be the most celebrated in anthropological history, it is of particular interest to anyone concerned with the social sciences. Malinowski's A Diary in the Strict Sense of the Term (1967) overlaps with these letters. The second volume tells us a good deal about how Malinowski painstakingly built his career. With publication of these letters, we now have a fuller portrait of this pioneer's outlook, feelings, and motivations. Sharing Widget |
