Physical Description
Abstract

The author looks back at 400 years of “literary history”: a variety of complex orature practices explained and dissected predominently by anthropologists and ethnologists, leading to the idea that a culture “without [written] literature” was a “savage” culture. From birch bark to wampums to basket weaving, the author lists numerous examples of “living books” that account for highly organized, socially, politically and culturally evolved civilizations.
