The following is the reading list for the first year graduate students in the program of folklore and folklife at the University of Pennsylvania. They are the books required for passing a qualifying exam after the first year of course work at this program.
It is a list that represents the academic interests of Upenn's folklore faculty rather than a general guide for the whole field of American folklore, though some of them, like Bauman's and Dorson's do represent the very basic body of knowledge of this field.
