Sommario/riassunto

Since Gunkel, folklore studies have exercised a great influence upon theories of oral composition and transmission of the patriarchal narratives. Dr Kirkpatrick subjects the underlying premises supporting many of these theories to a careful examination in the light of the most recent folklore research.
