Explore storytelling as an art form that has existed for centuries, from the first spoken and sung stories to those that are drawn and performed today.

This book provides students, instructors, and lay-readers with a cross-cultural understanding of storytelling as an art form that has existed for centuries, from the first spoken and sung stories to those that are drawn and performed today.

This book serves as an indispensable resource for students and scholars interested in storytelling and in multicultural approaches to the arts. By taking an evolutionary approach, this book begins with a discussion of origin stories and continues through history to stories of the 21st century. The text not only engages the stories themselves, it also explains how individuals from all disciplines – from doctors and lawyers to priests and journalists – use stories to focus their readers' and listeners' attention and influence them.

Jelena Cvorovic, PhD anthropology, is Principal Research Fellow at the Institute of Ethnography, Serbian Academy of Sciences and Arts, Serbia. Kathryn Coe was emeritus professor in the social and behavioral sciences department in the Richard M. Fairbanks School of Public Health at Indiana University, USA.
