Povídka ze života - opomíjený i zneužívaný žánr vyprávění

Abstract

Narration from life (memorat) is today the most widespread, if not the only, form of folklore. These stories have existed for a long time, but they have not been the primary subject of interest for folklorists, and therefore only a few and even more unsystematic records are available to us. They appear in late medieval memoirs, court records, Renaissance facies, and Baroque homiletics.
