We examine shifts from oral to literate transmissions of various genres, including wisdom literature, epic and lyric poetry, drama, and narrative. Focus is on the Judeo-Christian and Greco-Roman foundations of Western literature, and on the Confucian, Hindu/Sanskrit, Buddhist, and Islamic underpinnings of literary traditions in Asia and the Middle East.
