Oral Literature - 'A Poetry of Art'

Abstract

The subject of this study shall consider the outlooks of Prof. Eqrem Cabej regarding the Albanian oral art creativity. This is carried out with a view to properly analyse the views and opinions articulated by Prof. Cabej in his work perspectives and studies, whether it is about the Albanian oral literature, as an indivisible national wealth, narrowly linked to the history and economic and political circumstances of the Albanian people, or whether it is about particular sections of this literature, always aiming to enlighten his views on the values of oral literature. At the same time, other subjects of the study also take account of additional views of Prof. Cabej about literature, particularly the subjects, themes, characters and variants of oral literature that we may encounter among the peoples of the Balkan Peninsula. This means that he will approach these problems from within, for the reason that there he shall find the safest dough for such relevant studies. The leading purpose for studying this scientific challenge is to highlight the views, attitudes and elucidations voiced by Prof. Cabej’s numerous writings on particular issues of literature in general, and on oral literature in particular.
