| Summary |
"La Guzla" de Prosper Mérimée is a scholarly study of romantic literature written in the early 20th century. The work investigates the influences and origins of the collection of Illyrian poems purportedly compiled by Mérimée, questioning their authenticity and connection to the folk traditions of the Balkans. The main subject revolves around the examination of the ballads included in "La Guzla" and the cultural implications they hold regarding Slavic poetic genius. The opening of "La Guzla" establishes a strong foundation for the ensuing analysis, as it includes a preface by Augustin Filon, who introduces the author Vojislav M. Yovanovitch and emphasizes the significance of his research into Mérimée's work. Filon raises thought-provoking questions about the nature of "La Guzla," proposing various angles of inquiry concerning its romantic affiliations and the originality of the ballads. The preface also highlights the literary context, drawing connections to other significant figures and their works in the exploration of Balkan poetry and folklore, laying the groundwork for an in-depth examination of Mérimée's artistic choices and the broader implications of his writing on the perception of Slavic culture in Western literature.
