Folk Tradition Stimulus – A Literary Beginning

Maja Bošković Stulli ; Academy of Sciences and Arts

Abstract

Folk tradition topics may but do not necessarily express a literary orientation to the description of the folk and of folk culture, when a good copy of local customs and the local language is considered high quality. The paper has not considered literary works with topics from the life of the people or with a subject taken from the oral tradition, which in a more copious study would have been necessary. It has attempted to show that folk tradition motifs are included in the literature of very different periods, orientations and styles, each time in ways appropriate to them. Popular tales and folk poems are far from their own ancient roots, from ritual and magic, which are studied by anthropology, ethnology and folklore studies. In their area they are themselves a literary beginning.
