Summary
This case study of the bardic tradition is part linguistics, part anthropology. Based on their assumptions that classical Greek poetic composition was a matter of arranging set combinations of phrases, scholars Parry and Lord set out for the Balkans in the 1930s to discover if contemporary oral traditions likewise used ready-made fragments as they compose. This edition is accompanied by a CD-ROM mastered from original recordings.

Watchfiends & Rack Screams
by Antonin Artaud
"Watchfiends and Rack Screams," the first new Artaud English-language anthology in nearly 20 years, reflects an increased awareness of the importance of the work from his last years (a visual art show from this same period appeared at the MOMA, New York, in 1996). Theoretical works are paired with scatological glossolalia written during/after Artaud's incarceration in a Rodez asylum.
