Medieval oral literature

Více o knize

Although problems of orality have been much discussed by medievalists, there is to date no comprehensive handbook on this topic. In 'Medieval Oral Literature' in the 'De Gruyter Lexikon' series, an international team of scholars has provided an in-depth discussion both of theoretical issues and various poetic traditions and genres. In addition to the core areas of the European Middle Ages, Russian, Hebrew, Arabic, Persian and Turkish traditions have also been included.
