Abstract:

π‘‡β„Žπ‘’ π‘ƒπ‘œπ‘π‘Ÿπ‘Žπ‘‘π‘–π‘š: 𝐴 π‘†π‘™π‘Žπ‘£ π‘π‘œπ‘£π‘’π‘™ by P. Jones, published in 1895 and dedicated to β€œHis Highness, Prince Nicholas of Montenegro,” is an intriguing piece of literature, even though little is known about either the author or the book. With an intricate plot comprising multiple framed stories and presented by an omniscient narrator, the text centres on the exploits of two β€œblood brothers” and is of modest literary merit. However, it vividly portrays traditional values, customs, national costumes, places, superstitions, and has a distinct local feel. This article aims to identify and analyse the key folkloric elements present in π‘‡β„Žπ‘’ π‘ƒπ‘œπ‘π‘Ÿπ‘Žπ‘‘π‘–π‘š: 𝐴 π‘†π‘™π‘Žπ‘£ π‘π‘œπ‘£π‘’π‘™ and to provide a commentary on the novel from the perspective of cultural history.

Keywords:

folklore; cultural history; tradition; belief system; southeastern Europe.
