Preface: To the University of Notre Dame Press Edition
I have in various places referred to this little book as the thing in my professional life of which I am the most proud; as the piece of anthropological work I think I did best. I thought, briefly, that my reinterpretation of Sophocles' Antigone (in Reproduction and Succession, Transaction Books, 1993) might supplant it in this respect, but on rereading Tory Islanders to make corrections for this edition, I am confirmed in my original opinion. And I am judging it by standards of ethnographic craftsmanship that I was taught by the best in that now underrated (and often much abused) business: Raymond Firth, Isaac Schapera, Edmund Leach, John Barnes, Daryll Forde, Meyer Fortes, and Maurice Freedman in England; Clyde Kluckhohn, Evon Vogt, Dell Hymes, and Douglass Oliver at Harvard.
