註釋Between high culture and low culture, between oral traditions and written storytelling, between performance and manuscript, there lies not a clean boundary but a dynamic, productive region of mutual influence. Focusing on works composed at the crossroads of oral tradition and canonical literature, Nancy Mason Bradbury overturns a widespread critical view that oral transmission violates the integrity of written texts. Most medieval English romances either reflect or imitate the conditions of oral performance, and Bradbury skillfully demonstrates the importance of performance to their narrative art.
