摘要：Proceeding from the role of children's folklore in the inauguration of the term folklore, the author concentrates on interpretations of children's games in the second half of the 19th century. In reference to multiple sources of folkloristic interest in children during the 1970s and 1980s, she deals with traces of 19th century evolutionary theories of culture in the works of that period.
