A wide-ranging study of popular poetry and song in the Greek
language from the last years of the Byzantine Empire to the present
day. The folk poetry of the title includes the songs, composed and
handed down by word of mouth, of unlettered villagers, of wandering
minstrels with pretensions to professionalism, and, in more recent
times, of the poorer inhabitants of Ottoman and Greek cities. The
creative period of this folk poetry covers, at the minimum, 500
years of history and a geographical area stretching from Corsica in
the west to Cyprus and Trebizond in the east, as well as northwards
into the Balkans. This is not a general or theoretical survey of
folk poetry, but an exploration, based on literary, historical and
sociological evidence, of a single cultural tradition and the
forces which have shaped it.
