In this course, Professor Michael D. C. Drout traces literature back again to its ultimate sources in oral tradition. Drout shows us how works as varied as the Odyssey, Beowulf, the Finnish Kalevala, and epic songs from the former Yugoslavia were shaped by their origins as songs sung - and composed - before a live audience. Understanding the oral roots of these great works lets us see them in a complete new light. From classical texts to modern day digital media, Drout demonstrates the way the dynamics of oral tradition shape the verbal art that makes us who we are.
