Oral history provides a valuable way of understanding locality.
This volume considers the importance of working closely with the
specifics of place in the context of global issues including
environmental concerns and new communication technologies.
Developing interdisciplinary connections between oral history,
literary studies, and geography, essays in this collection focus on
how both oral and written narratives engage with particular places,
ranging from Dartmoor and "the clay country" to the River Ouse,
from London to the polar regions. Further, this collection
considers how oral history interviews themselves--the sounds of
voices--are recorded and listened to in particular places: on
walks, in theatres, at home on the internet. In doing so, this
volume highlights the importance of thinking methodically about
place not only in terms of the content of interviews, but also
their creation, dissemination, and reception.
