520    The Powers of Genre describes a method for interpreting 
       oral literature that depends upon and facilitates dialogue
       between insiders and outsiders to a tradition. Seitel 
       illustrates this method with lively examples from Haya 
       proverbs, folktales, and heroic verse. He then focuses on 
       a single epic ballad to demonstrate, among other things, 
       why stanzas need not rhyme, and how significance needs 
       time in oral poetry and narrative. Making a controversial 
       claim that an heroic age, similar to that of Ancient 
       Greece, existed in Sub-Saharan Africa, this work will 
       intrigue anyone who works in oral literat.
