Issue 10 (Winter 2007): Orality and Literacy
eSharp's 10th issue, 'Orality and Literacy', offers different explorations of the relationship between oral and literate modes of communication. These range from the use of paralinguistic devices such as bird song in Gaelic folktales to the political implications of literacy in formation of eighteenth-century slave narratives; from the use of the body as a site of oral memory in Toni Morrison's Love to the exploration of different kinds of individual and national history figured through the use of literary and oral tropes in Shakespeare's King John.
eSharp is proud to present this series of articles that demonstrate the diverse ways in which the oral and the literate are played out within different cultures, all of which in turn raise issues of historiographical method and in doing so offer a stimulating counterpoint to the Historical Perspectives supplement.
Articles are in PDF format. If you do not already have Adobe Reader on your computer, you can download it for free from www.adobe.com.
