    I get that, but unfortunately that’s not how it’s usually taken in now. It’s usually ‘read this as part of the syllabus’ in college and it’s a slog, which is just too bad because the actual tales are great and I’m sure they’re wonderful when read aloud by a skilled speaker (never been to a performance).

      I understand.

      Studying an oral work without seeing a performance or at least a recorded one is pretty ridiculous.
