change of voice and gesture. (p. 3)

     The twelfth century audience took these recitals in 
instalments but “we can sit and read it at our leisure and turn 
back to previous pages at our will. In short, the history of the 
progress from script to print is a history of the gradual 
substitution of visual for auditory methods of communicating 
and receiving ideas.” (p. 4) Chaytor quotes (p. 7) a passage 
from Our Spoken Language  by A. Lloyd James (p. 29) which 
comes to grips with the alteration of our sense lives by way of 
literacy:

           “Sound and sight, speech and print, eye and ear 
     have nothing in common. The human brain has done 
     nothing that compares in complexity with this fusion of 
     ideas involved in linking up the two forms of language.
