Poetry as Performance: Homer and Beyond

This book is a comparative study of oral poetics in literate cultures, focusing on the problems of textual fluidity in the transmission of Homeric poetry over half a millennium, from the Archaic through the Hellenistic periods of ancient Greece. It emphasises the role of performance and the performer in the re-creative process of composition-in-performance.
