Description

Explore the complex relationship between speech and writing in this academic collection from the Routledge Library Editions: The Medieval World series. Originally published in 1994, Oral Tradition in Middle English provides a multidisciplinary examination of how oral traditions shaped Middle English literature. This volume addresses the challenges of defining orality and literacy in verbal art from this era. It moves beyond traditional typographies that fail to explain the diversity of historical texts. By introducing concepts like vocality and developing literacy, the book offers a fresh way to interpret Middle English poetry. Designed for scholars and students of literary theory, this work establishes a new interpretive paradigm. It is an essential resource for understanding the transition between spoken and written forms in medieval texts.
