 Bryn Mawr Classical Review 97.4.18
No theory about Homeric dictation can be called a "keystone in the Parry-Lord model." Even the most plausible of the dictation theories, the original formulation of Albert Lord himself, is not a "keystone" of his model of oral traditional composition.
Since Lord made it his policy to avoid unfounded speculations about any unique occasion for Homeric dictation, my disagreement is not with his model.
Albert Lord's model of composition-in-performance applies not only to epic but also to lyric traditions (1996.22-68).
