Paperback. Condition: fine. "Both living oral traditions and texts with roots in oral tradition share a context in which the speaker performs for an audience, either real or implied. Foley argues that the methods and strategies of traditional and oral expression--of 'the singer of tales' --persist into the realm of texts. This s…tudy dissolves the perceived barrier between'oral' and 'written', creating a composite theory from oral-formulaic theory and the ethnography of speaking and ethnopoetics." 235 pages; 6 x 9".
