I propose the removal of the paragraph about "Digital Propp". This is not a serious resource (the project's approach to Propp indicates the authors either have not understood his theory or have not taken it seriously), and certainly doesn't deserve a mention in the article about Propp. --Tail 15:15, 2 May 2006 (UTC)

I have a minor but important observation to this article: Propp is presented at the begining as an structuralist. But at the end of the article, in the critique, Levy Strauss approach is mentioned as better than the formalist approach of Propp. Should Propp be introduced as a formalist? I would say so. I do not want to touch the article myself. alveolar 16:05, 4 March 2007 (UTC)alveolar

i agreee totally with alveolar. Propp definitely was no structuralist. maybe his findings led the way to struturalism, but in the better case he would be at least a structuralist avant la lettre, that is, before the term was created, what happened only with the Strauss generation, i guess.

[edit] Article

There's a link called Assessment of Propp, but it is in German. This shouldn't be available on the english wikipedia site.

I have including the proper link for my summary of Vladimir Propp's 31 narrative units - the previous link went to a page entirely ripped from my site without permission. The original document, written in 1995 may be found <a href="http://www.lostbiro.com/Theorists/propp.html">here</a> I don't have a problem with the substantial reproduction of those words as they appear on the main Propp entry. The footnotes provide correct references to the elements of Propp's 'Morphology'.
