Oral Interpretation

by Timothy Gura, Benjamin Powell

In its 13th Edition, the iconic Oral Interpretation continues to prepare students to analyze and perform literature through an accessible, step-by-step process. New selections join classic favorites, and chapters devoted to specific genres―narrative, poetry, group performance, and more―explore the unique challenges of each form. Now tighter and more focused than its predecessors, this edition highlights movements in contemporary culture―especially the contributions of social media to current communication. New writings offer advice and strategies for maximizing body and voice in performance, and enhanced devices guide novices in performance preparation.

Interesting and very thorough, although repetitive. The excerpts in the back of each chapter are great examples and mean that I don't have to require students to buy an additional book for the course.
