The Textualization of the Greek Alphabet
Woodard, Roger D. (State University of New York, Buffalo)
This book demonstrates that the earliest Greek users of the alphabet conceived of themselves as participants in a performance phenomenon - in the manner of the oral poets - when they wrote. This book offers a compelling interpretation for the concomitant demise of extemporaneous oral poetic composition and the rise of the alphabet.
