Summary "Poésies populaires Serbes" by Auguste Dozon is a collection of translated Serbian folk poetry written in the mid-19th century. This compilation features a selection of heroic songs and domestic poems that reflect the rich oral traditions of the Serbian people, highlighting their heroic past, cultural identity, and the struggles against foreign domination. The work aims to preserve these important cultural artifacts and present them to a broader audience, showcasing the expressive depth of Serbian folklore. The opening of the collection introduces the subject matter and cultural context of the poems, particularly focusing on the legacy of Serbian heroic poetry. It discusses how these songs, primarily composed orally, are divided into heroic chants—performed mainly by men accompanied by a traditional one-string instrument called the gousle—and domestic songs often sung by women. Dozon emphasizes the historical importance of these works, noting their role in nurturing a sense of national identity and memory amidst centuries of struggle against the Ottomans. The introduction sets the stage for the readers to appreciate the unique cultural significance and narrative richness encapsulated in these folk poems. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
