Synopsis

Indian Epic Structures explores how ancient Indian epics like the Mahabharata and Ramayana were preserved through generations via oral tradition. It reveals the sophisticated methods used to transmit these narratives, focusing on oral formulas and thematic repetition. The book highlights how standardized phrases acted as mnemonic devices, aiding storytellers and audiences alike. Similarly, recurring motifs and character archetypes provided a framework for improvisation while maintaining the epics' core elements. The book argues that these techniques were not merely memory aids, but intricate literary tools shaping the epics' structure and meaning. It examines the social and cultural context of ancient India, emphasizing the role of bards in preserving these stories. Beginning with an introduction to the major epics, the book progresses to analyze oral formulas and thematic repetition, demonstrating their combined impact on the epics' enduring power and cultural relevance. This approach offers a unique perspective by blending textual analysis with performance theory, providing a holistic view of these narratives.

    Where de yea belang?brings together the distinctive vocabulary of the North East dialect.
    "Abackabeyont, bait-poke, cracket, drucken, etten, fettle, guissie pigs, lonnin, marra, nyen, plote, queen-cat, reckling, skinch, tew, upcast, vine, willok, yem, zookers!" If you enjoy finding out about dialect words – how and where and when they were used – and where they came from – this is the best guide to help you explore the world of North East dialect.
    Until the 20th century, dialect was a marker of economic, social and cultural change. We know that the North East maritime connections with the Dutch led to the introduction of many 'new' words. The Scottish influence of the keelmen (fisherman) on the Tyne and their effect on local language was much more radical.  Although the Tyneside dialect and identity and this way of speaking is fast waning, the popularity of discovering this language and dialect shows there is still a great interest in the languages and dialect of the past.
    
    
    The late Bill Griffiths (1948–2007)was an extraordinary writer and poet: radical, experimental and scholarly, but also had a great sense of humour. He was a wonderful champion of the North East, its people and heritage.
    Born in Middlesex, he read history before graduating in 1969. Bill ran his own independent press and published political pamphlets and essays on the arts and poetry. After gaining a PhD in Old English he fled London and settled in Seaham where he embraced the northern way of life.
    'He was also a scholar of Old English and dialect who know how to make his work accessible. Private and uncompetitive, he was at least these things: poet, archivist, scholar, translator, prison-rights campaigner, pianist, historian, curator, performer, editor, short-story writer, essayist, teacher, book-maker and lyricist. The Saturday before he died, Bill discharged himself from hospital to host the Dialect Day at the Morden Tower in Newcastle upon Tyne. He died as he lived: cataloguing, awarding Best Dialect prizes, opera on his radio, the poetry paramount.' Obituary, The Independent, 20 September 2007.
