Discusses the transition from a largely oral to a fundamentally
literate society in the early modern period. During this period the
spoken word remained of the utmost importance but development of
printing and the spread of popular literacy combined to transform
the nature of communication. Examines English, Scottish and Welsh
Oral culture to provide the first pan-British study of the subject.
Covers several aspects of oral culture ranging from tradition, to
memories of the civil war, to changing mechanics for the settling
of debts. The time-span concentrates on the period 1500-1800 but
includes material from outside this time frame, covering a longer
chronolgical span than most other studies to show the link between
early modern and modern oral and literate cultures. -- .
