The first book to offer a history, theory, and methodology of textmaking from an interdisciplinary perspective, "The Folklore Text" attacks a critical issue in the study of verbal performance - translating performance style into print. Fine examines the implications of performance theory for textmaking and constructs a model of an ideal, performance-centered text based on aesthetic field theory. This is a basic reference work for folklore studies, oral interpretation, communications, sociolinguistics, semiotics, drama, and other fields concerned with art and performance.
