Produktbeschreibung

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. John Miles Foley Is a scholar of comparative oral tradition, medieval and Old English Literature (particularly Beowulf), Ancient Greek (especially Homer) and Serbian epic. He is the founder of the academic journal Oral Tradition and the Center for Studies in Oral Tradition at the University of Missouri, where he is Curators' Professor of Classical Studies and English and W. H. Byler Endowed Chair in the Humanities. Foley is generally regarded as the world s foremost authority on the subject of comparative oral traditions. In addition to providing the infrastructure for the comparatively new academic discipline of oral tradition by means of organizing conferences, producing the first bibliography, history and methodological guide[4] and classroom textbook on the subject, his principal contributions have been the study of oral traditional performance in the field, and the application of those observations both to ancient texts and to the emerging secondary orality of the Internet.
