内容简介
Oral and Literate Culture in England, 1500-1700 explores the rich oral culture of early modern England. It focuses upon dialect speech and proverbial wisdom, "old wives' tales" and children's lore, historical legends and local customs, scurrilous versifying and scandalous rumor-mongering. Adam
Fox demonstrates the extent to which this vernacular world was fundamentally structured by written and printed sources over the course of the period.
