Abstract:

This volume raises questions about why oral celebrations of language receive
so little attention in published literary histories when they are
simultaneously recognized as fundamental to our understanding of literature.
It aims to prompt debate regarding the transformations needed for literary
historians to provide a more balanced and fuller appreciation of what we call
literature, one that acknowledges the interdependence of oral storytelling and
written expression, whether in print, pictorial, or digital form. Rather than
offering a summary of current theories or prescribing solutions, this volume
brings together distinguished scholars, conventional literary historians, and
oral performer-practitioners from regions as diverse as South Africa, the
Canadian Arctic, the Roma communities of Eastern Europe and the music industry
of the American West in a conversation that engages the reader directly with
the problems that they have encountered and the questions that they have
explored in their work with orality and with literary history.
