FOLK POETRY FROM THE ISLAND OF ZLARIN

Olinko Delorko

Abstract

The present paper has three parts: introduction, texts, and lists of recorders, narrators, and certain variants of folk poems.
The introduction notes that the folk poems given here were recorded on the island of Zlarin on three separate occasions: toward the end of the first half of the nineteenth century, then In 1955, and more recently in 1975, 1976 and 1977. The bulk of the poems have been recorded by the present author, and it is these poems which form the main part of the collection.
It is interesting to observe that hardly any linguistic or stylistic differences can be noted between the earliest recordings published In the magazine »Zora Dalmatinska« in 1846 (by an unknown collector), the recordings of 1955 and the more recent ones of 1975-1977. This is illustrated with three examples.
