This volume describes a method for interpreting oral literature that enables dialogue between insiders and outsiders of a tradition. Seitel illustrates this method with lively examples from Haya (from Northwestern Tanzania) proverbs, folktales, and heroic verse. He then focuses on a single epic ballad to demonstrate, among other things, why stanzas need not rhyme, and how significance needs time in oral poetry and narrative. He makes a controversial claim that an heroic age, similar to that of Ancient Greek, existed in sub-Saharan Africa. The work should interest anyone who works in oral literature and narrative, folklorists, literary critics, anthropologists, linguists, and Africanists. This book is intended for linguists, folklorists, literary critics.
