AHRC Network Meeting for \u2018Voices and Books\u2019<\/strong><\/p>\n

Monday 8 September, 2014<\/strong><\/p>\n

Strathclyde University, Glasgow<\/strong><\/p>\n

Humanities scholars working in earlier periods (1500-1800) are increasingly interested in the performance and aural reception of the scripted word. There is plenty of evidence to suggest that reading aloud and listening were ubiquitous in early modern culture. But the historical record cannot reveal how different texts sounded. In this workshop we explore the tools for description and the frameworks for comparison used by linguists and anthropologists and ask: how can they help us?<\/p>\n

We will also hear from John Milsom about how people learned to read musical notation in the past, experiment with different performance styles and hear from a modern story-teller about how he voices texts and the oral tradition in Ghana.<\/p>\n
