	Milman Parry - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Milman Parry (1902 -December 3, 1935) was a scholar of epic poetry.
		In his American publications of the 1930s Parry introduced the hypothesis that this peculiarity of Homer's style is to be explained by its being the characteristic style of oral composition (the so-called Oral Formulaic Hypothesis).
		The Milman Parry collection of records and transcriptions of Southslavic heroic poetry is now in the Widener Library of Harvard University.

		Milman Parry was a classical scholar who between 1933 and 1935 was in Yugoslavia studying the oral traditions among the South Slavs.
		In the course of his work, he could not help but notice the similarities between the oral poetry he was hearing and the formulaic verse of the Iliad.
		Parry died in 1935, and the dissemination of the idea of Homer as an oral poet was continued by Albert Lord.

		This volume contains the papers necessary to reconstruct the genesis of Milman Parry's thoughts on the formulaic composition of oral epics.

	Classics 207: Video Vault
		In the early 30s, an enterprising classicist named Milman Parry had a theory: that certain features in Homer--most notably the inclusion of formulae--indicated that the Homeric poems were oral in original and should therefore be treated differently than written texts.
		So, with a newly-graduated Harvard man in tow, Albert Lord, Milman Parry dedicated several years of his life to the recording and transcription of South Slavic singers, from ballads and lyric to full-fledged epics of several thousand lines: Homeric length.
		Avdo was, in Milman Parry's estimation, the finest bard the scholars encountered in their trips through the Balkans.

		By investigating Yugoslav oral poets of his day Milman Parry (1902-35) established the view that they were the results of a long tradition in which bards recited or sang shorter poems or lays that were the basis of longer poems, such as the Homeric epics.
		Parry's contributions are readily available in {The Making of Homeric Verse The Collected Papers of Milman Parry}, ed.
		According to ancient tradition, the Homeric poems were first written down by Pisistratus in the sixth century B.C. They were later studied, especially by the Alexandrian grammarians, among whom the great critic, Aristarchus of the second century B.C., produced an edition that has been the basis of the poems ever since.

		But Parry's legacy at Harvard was not limited to his Collection nor to those who assayed the particular work that he himself had intended to do with it.
		Moreover, a number of distinguished senior professors in the Faculty of Arts and Sciences in the 1970s were associates or students of Parry during the five years that he taught at Harvard.
		Among these influential continuators of Parry's purpose were Reuben A. Brower, Cabot Professor of English Literature, John H. Finley, Eliot Professor of Greek Literature, Daniel H. Ingalls, Wales Professor of Sanskrit, and Harry T. Levin, Irving Babbitt Professor of Comparative Literature.

		The title came from the few surviving pages of a study planned by his mentor Milman Parry before the latter's untimely death in 1935, but the result was a significant extension of that blueprint.
		The initiative began with Parry's groundbreaking analyses of the texts of Homer's Iliad and Odyssey, and with his deduction that their repetitive, formulaic phraseology was symptomatic of their traditional heritage and their transmission by a long series of bards over many centuries.
		Especially helpful in understanding the genesis and early stages of the Oral Theory are their quotations from heretofore unpublished documents, such as Parry's project reports on the fieldwork (pages ix-x, x-xi, xxii) and Lord's typewritten manuscript preserved in the MPCOL (xii-xiii).
