Heroic Age (literary theory)
text:
Some 20th-century studies of oral poetry and traditional literature postulate Heroic Ages as stages in the development of human societies likely to give rise to legends about heroic deeds. According to some theorists, oral epic poetry would originate during an Heroic Age, and would be transmitted, by singers who displayed less creativity, through later periods. Scholars who adopted Heroic Age theories include: Maurice Bowra (1898–1971)
Hector Munro Chadwick (1870–1947) and Nora Kershaw Chadwick
