DISCUSSION: See lines 37-44. Parry’s successors ignored most aspects of his work. They focussed on oral poetry itself, and what it could and could not do.
___________
- Lines 37-44 say these scholars only studied oral poetry.
- This was something Adam Parry did.
(lines 57-61) - This is something that non-academic critics did.
(lines 6-10) - CORRECT. Lines 40-44 say this directly. The scholars were interested in what oral poetry could and could not do.
- No one said this. After the 1970s, there was a revival of scholarly interest in Homer. But we don’t know if Homer was ever popular.
