Oral Art Forms and their Passage into Writing
Editat de Else Mundal, Jonas Wellendorfen Limba Engleză Hardback – 14 iun 2008
when oral texts are removed from their original medium and written down? The present collection examines the complex relationship between the oral and the written and the problems of textualization. Taking their point of departure in the theories of orality and literalization as well as the preserved texts and their transmission, the individual contributors, experts from the fields of Old Norse, Old English, Latin and Homeric studies as well as from later Serbian and Norwegian folklore, explore the commonalities and differences in the process of literalization within the medieval world as well as in recent times.

Recenzii
This volume is [...] an important collection which will provide the springboard for future comparative work on medieval literatures.- Chris Callow, Early Medieval Europe 18 (4), 2008.
[A] fine critical anthology, one that should stimulate much thought about the protean processes by which oral art forms and literary cultures intersect.- John D. Niles, Journal of English and Germanic Philology, July 2009.
