Summary/Abstract: In this paper we search for elements of folk literature in Laza Kostić's letters with the goal to show the author's relation towards folk tradition on which the majority of his work is based. Thorough analysis of the letters gives us the base for the history of Kostić's book Osnova lepote u svetu: s osobitim obzirom na srpske narodne pesme, which is directly and indirectly mentioned in more than thirty of his letters from the seventies and eighties of the nineteenth century.
