Abstract

The folk humor of Slavnoia, sometimes good natured, at times mockingly lascivious, is inwrought in the writings of Janko Jurković. In the discussion O narodnom komusu (On the folk humor) Jurković emphasizes that the source of folk humor lies in oral literature and that it’s where we should learn from how to create humorous effects. He tries to implement the ideas and theories he states in the discussion On the folk humor in his comedies by taking the themes and motives from folk stories. In the selected literary opus of Janko Jurković, interferences of folk elements and written texts will be shown and it will be evaluated how successful Jurković was in the realization of his theoretical claims.
