Book Description:
'A great book... ' Choice'... a groundbreaking work of scholarship... ' Asian Folklore Studies'This extremely fascinating study opens an important chapter in the ethnography of speech, briliantly confirming the views advanced by Dell Hymes, Albert Lord and Richard Baumann.' The Journal of Indo European StudiesBuilding on his work in Traditional Oral Epic and Immanent Art, John Foley dissolves the perceived barrier between 'oral' and 'written,' creating a composite theory from oral formulaic theory and the ethnography of speaking and ethnopoetics.' a groundbreaking work of scholarship that clears the path for solving the perennial problem of the interpretation of oral derived texts. The book will be of immense value to students of folklore and literature, and to those seriously interested in the interface of the two traditionally divided disciplines.' Asian Folklore Studies
