Oral Tradition,12/2 (1997): 366-484 Annotated Bibliography 1986-1990 Catherine S. Quick With the assistance of Amerina Engel, Sheril Hook, and Rosalinda Villalobos Lopez The following compilation represents the third installment ofOral Tradition’s ongoing annotated bibliography of scholarship relevant to the field.This addition, covering the years 1986-1990, maintains the goals of the first two installments: 1) to update John Miles Foley’s original bibliography,Oral-Formulaic Theory and Research(Garland 1985), which provided an annotated listing of scholarship on the Parry-Lord theory of oral composition up until 1982, and 2) to expand the scope of the bibliography into other fields related to the study of oral traditions.The initial year of this installment also marks the beginning ofOral Traditionitself, and all articles published in the journal from 1986-1990 are herein annotated. Although the bibliography emphasizes the Parry-Lord approach, we have continued to expand coverage into related areas in order to make the bibliography as useful as possible for scholars studying the world’s oral traditions.You will therefore discover entries related to orality/literacy theories, performance approaches, and ethnopoetics, as well as oral- formulaic theory.While it would probably be impossible within the scope of this bibliography to provide a comprehensive listing ofallscholarship fromallof these areas, we have attempted to highlight some of the major theoretical contributions in these fields and to reference some of the geographic and language areas that have not been well represented in the oral-formulaic approach but nevertheless contain important insights for scholars of oral tradition. Of course, the only way such a wide-ranging bibliography can continue to be of use is if experts in all of the represented areas participate. Therefore, we ask thatall authors contribute regularly by sending copies of recent publications to the editor.Relevant articles and books will be annotated in forthcoming installments, and any books received will be eligible for published review.We also would appreciate any suggestions our readers may have for making this bibliography a genuinely useful and relevant tool.

ANNOTATED BIBLIOGRAPHY367 To this end, we have recently made the leap into the electronic age.In 1995, the Center for Studies in Oral Tradition entered cyberspace by establishing a home page on the World Wide Web that, among other things, provides a downloadable edition of Foley’s original bibliography.Soon to come will be a searchable index of all entries from the original and all installments of the bibliography.We invite you to visit the site and explore the information available at .
