The Muse Learns to Write:

Reflections on Orality and Literacy from Antiquity to the Present
Front Cover
1 Review
Yale University Press, 1986 - Philosophy - 144 pages
When oral culture becomes literate, in what way does human consciousness itself change? And how does the new form of communication affect the content and meaning of texts? In this book, one of the most original and penetrating thinkers in Greek studies describes the transformation from orality to literacy in classical times and reflects upon its continued meaning for us today.
