Russian Folk Ballads and the Tale of Misery and Ill Fortune
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 25 January 2017
Extract
The origin of the seventeenth-century Russian narrative poem, the Tale of Misery and III Fortune (Povest' o Gore i Zločastii) is one of the most vexing problems in the whole field of Old Russian literature. Though one ultimate source for the Tale can be found in the story of the prodigal son, for example, no immediate source has been discovered either in Old Russian written literature or in any foreign literature. More surprising (since the Tale may be a relatively original work, after all) is that the poem is unique in its own genre. Other Russian seventeenth-century tales are in prose, and are stylistically quite different.
