Originally published in 1992, Turkic Oral Poetry provides an expert
introduction to the oral epic traditions of the Turkic peoples of
central Asia. The book seeks to remedy the problem of
non-specialists' lack of access to information on the Turkic
traditions, and in the process, it provides scholars in various
disciplines with material for comparative investigation. The book
focuses on "central traditions" of this region, specifically those
of the Uzbeks, Kazakhs, Karakalpak's, and Kirghiz and looks at the
historical and linguistic background to a survey of the earliest
documents, portraits of the singers and of performance
considerations of genre, story-patterns, and formulaic diction, and
discussions of "composition in performance", memory, rhetoric and
diffusion.
