Oral Literature

Pre-literate societies, by definition, have no written literature, but may possess a rich and varied Oral Tradition s—such as folk Epic s, Folklore and Folksong —that effectively constitute an oral literature.

Literate societies may continue an oral tradition - particularly within the family (for example Bedtime Stories ) or informal social structures. The telling of Urban Legend s may be considered an example of oral literature.
