{"product_id":"the-spoken-word-adam-fox-9780719057472","title":"The Spoken Word: Oral Culture in Britain, 1500-1850","description":"\u003cp\u003eDiscusses the transition from a largely oral to a fundamentally literate society in the early modern period. During this period the spoken word remained of the utmost importance but development of printing and the spread of popular literacy combined to transform the nature of communication. Examines English, Scottish and Welsh Oral culture to provide the first pan-British study of the subject. Covers several aspects of oral culture ranging from tradition, to memories of the civil war, to changing mechanics for the settling of debts. The time-span concentrates on the period 1500-1800 but includes material from outside this time frame, covering a longer chronolgical span than most other studies to show the link between early modern and modern oral and literate cultures. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAn electronic edition of this book is freely available under a Creative Commons (CC BY-NC-ND) licence.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Adam Fox\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0719057477\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780719057472\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Manchester University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/13\/2003\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 296\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.99lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.36h x 6.14w x 0.89d","brand":"Adam Fox","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48658911887615,"sku":"9780719057472","price":29.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-spoken-word-adam-fox-9780719057472","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
