ЈЕДНОСТАВНИ ОБЛИЦИ И ГЕНЕЗА СРПСКЕ ПРИПОВИЈЕТКЕ
SIMPLE FORMS AND GENESIS OF THE SERBIAN SHORT STORY

Summary/Abstract: The author analyzes the place and role of simple forms in the process of creation and development of the Serbian short story (the period from Dositej Obradović until the age of realism). These forms (primarily listed in the classification of A. Joles) have a strong influence in the early periods of Serbian novelist prose as its basic framework or point. The sources of these forms are Biblical, folklore, classic or authorial (personal) and can be found at all levels of the story (title, basic idea, plot summary, didactic point). At first they are closely related with the educational orientation of the age of enlightenment and then gradually the influence of folk literature and speaking would gain strength. At that time more (1860s-1870s) the more developed short stories were withdrawn in the face of individualization and modern motivations of the plot and heroes (objectivization), remaining at the level of tendency and characterization by speech or becoming a basis for a more developed plot.
