David F. Elmer is Professor of the Classics and Associate Curator of the Milman Parry Collection of Oral Literature at Harvard University.
First published in 1960, Albert B. Lord’s The Singer of Tales remains the fundamental study of the distinctive techniques and aesthetics of oral epic poetry. Based upon pathbreaking fieldwork conducted in the 1930s and 1950s among oral epic singers of Bosnia, Croatia, and Serbia, Lord analyzes in impressive detail the techniques of oral composition in performance. He explores the consequences of this analysis for the interpretation of numerous works of traditional verbal art, including―in addition to South Slavic epic songs―the Homeric Iliad and Odyssey, Beowulf, the Chanson de Roland, and the Byzantine epic Digenis Akritas. A cardinal text for the study of oral traditions, The Singer of Tales also represents an exemplary use of the comparative method in literary criticism.
This third edition offers a corrected text of the second edition and is supplemented by an open-access website (in lieu of the second edition’s CD-ROM), providing all the recordings discussed by Lord, as well as a variety of other multimedia materials.

評分偶是查關於史詩歌手,關注重點在前2章,後麵對於史詩結構與口頭範式的分析就翻過去的,沒有仔細看。口頭傳統的入門典籍,還是很不錯的。本來這本書附有CD,編者說,許多國人都聽不懂CD裏史詩的語言(斯拉夫語係),因此就沒有引用。可是對於那些做民族音樂學的人士來說,有音頻...
