	Imagery and Structure in Eskimo Song Texts
		Rasmussen states that songs were thought to originate in the voices of the spirits, and that all objects — animate and inanimate — had spirits (R7:228-9).
		Rasmussen carefully notes that the singers who complain of their dogs have the best'dogs in the settlement, while the ones who lament their inability to catch anything are the greatest hunters (R8:336).
		Described by Rasmussen as the "dominant passion" (R7:227), rivalry was manifested in many competitive games (for example, arm pulling and boxing matches), in a spirit of competition on the hunt, in the custom of song cousins, and in the more (emotionally and often physically) violent moral confrontation at a song dispute.

	INTRODUCTION
		HESE stories were collected in various parts of Greenland, taken down from the lips of the Eskimo story-tellers themselves, by Knud Rasmussen, the Danish explorer.
		In making the present selection, I have endeavoured to choose those which are most characteristic and best calculated to give an idea of the life and thought of the people.
		For the rest, I have endeavoured to keep as closely as possible to the spirit and tone of the originals, working from the Eskimo text and Knud Rasmussen's Danish version side by side.

		Rasmussen's acquaintance with sources and secondary literature is not exhaustive.
		It remains a merit of his that he has printed in the text as well as in the appendix many telegrams, vota, and so on.
		Its shortcomings lie in the fact that the military and political analyses have not been satisfactorily coordinated and do not suffice to sustain his conclusions, however careful and convincing.
