Të birtë e shekullit të ri of Migjeni and Shekulli i zënë of Kadare - a comparative study

Summary/Abstract: David Samoilov was the first to observe that Kadare inherited modernity from Migjeni. However, he did not provide an account whether their modernity was related to any common European tendencies. The two poets entered the Albanian literature with a challenge; each was seeking to challenge the century: Migjeni with The sons of the new century and Kadare with the poem My century. They have been qualified as ardhmnorë /futurers (futuristi), because of their influence by the futurists treaty of Marinetti. This influence, which was in the myth of the future, and the urbanization; in the belief that the new century would part, once for all, with the past; in the free verse and in the parodyzation of the rhyme; in drawings strict line with the belated romanticism and the folklorism; in the distorted language order, they both acquired indirectly through the Eastern literatures, not directly through The Manifest offuturism of Filippo Tomaso Marinetti. Just like Milos Crnjanski in the Serbian literature, Migjeni refused the poetics ofzenitism, a literary anti-European phenomenon during the 1930’s. On a similar track, Kadare wrote a poem with the same title like that of Osip Mandelstam, My century, where you can see patterns of the leftist futurism (levnij futurisam) of the Russian literature in the period between the two wars.
