About This Book

The author offers a historical and linguistic survey of the Slavic-speaking peoples, tracing their uncertain origins, early migration into Europe, and the distribution of dialects across a vast territory. Classical and Byzantine notices, comparative links with Indo-European languages, and the development of mythic beliefs and folk supernatural figures are examined. The study sketches literary growth from early inscriptions and religious texts to vernacular poetry and popular song, treats orthography and pronunciation issues, and supplies biographical and bibliographic notes on authors and sources to guide further study.
