About the book
Episodes of the Maranao epic retold in English prose, for readers who will not face the eight volumes.
Howard P. McKaughan compiled these stories from the Darangen, the Maranao epic, translated into English. De La Salle University Press published the book in 1995, at 194 pages. An earlier version was printed by the Mindanao State University research centre in Marawi. In the same year the press published a companion volume, Maranao Stories, and Connie Jan Maraan reviewed the 2 books together in the Philippine Journal of Linguistics in 1996.
McKaughan was an American linguist who founded the Department of Linguistics at the University of Hawaii. He died in 2013, aged 91. He also did fieldwork in the eastern highlands of New Guinea. His colleagues remembered him above all for his work on Maranao. With Batua Macaraya he compiled a Maranao dictionary. After retiring he worked with the Iranun people of Sabah for the Summer Institute of Linguistics.
