    Product Description

    This book examines the modern scholarly history of theorizing biblical poetry and draws out an inherent tension between theories of biblical poetry that assume an oral genesis, and the written nature of our evidence. The divide between this imagined orality and the concrete materiality of the texts is usually bridged by problematic evolutionary theories of the development of literature from oral to written. Through critical reflection upon this history of ideas and close reading of biblical poetry in its textual framing, the book advances a new conceptual framework for understanding these texts which moves beyond our inherited evolutionary paradigm and towards an awareness of the text's own manner of expression.
