This book draws attention to the reception of Oskar Kolberg¿s folklorist¿s work outside of
Poland. It also presents the work of other scholars active in Eastern Europe from the
nineteenth century to the present day many of them poorly known despite their lofty
achievements. The contributions by authors from Lithuania Belarus Ukraine Russia Slovakia
and Poland reflect on how Kolberg¿s work is being continued by scholars today and how the
musical repertoire that he recorded is functioning. This book unites the results of the
international conference «The Kolbergs of Eastern Europe» organised by the College of Eastern
Europe and the Institute of Musicology of the University of Wroc¿aw.
