| Abstract: | "We must not doubt that stories were told and enjoyed long before humans learned how to
transpose what the ear hears into what the eye sees. Whether brief or developed, transmitted
verbatim or embellished, these tales were likely sung, chanted, intoned, or
declaimed, with or without bodily accompaniments." |
