Expanded Course Description
In this course we’ll explore the old and new examples of the oldest form of literature — literature composed, told, and transmitted orally. We’ll look at examples ranging from the Odyssey and Beowulf to fairy tales, jokes, urban legends, and modern storytelling. In these we’ll examine the ways memory and cognition shape form and narrative, and how oral literature has been used for thousands of years to enlighten, communicate, and entertain.
