"The Oral Experience of Literature: Sense, Structure, and Sound" by Jean DeSales Bertram is a scholarly exploration of the multifaceted nature of literature, focusing on its oral aspects. Published by Chandler Publishing Company in 1967 in San Francisco, this hardcover edition delves into the interplay of sense, structure, and sound in literary works. Bertram, affiliated with San Francisco State College, presents an academic perspective on how literature is experienced through oral traditions. This edition is particularly valuable for its focus on the auditory and structural dimensions of literature, a niche area in literary criticism. The book is bound in maroon cloth with white lettering, and while it lacks a dust jacket, it remains a significant contribution to the field for both students and scholars interested in the oral traditions of literature. The physical condition is good, with only minor wear visible.
