Štrekljeva zbirka ljudskih pesmi ob prelomu stoletja

The author presents the most significant work of the Slovene folklorist and Slavist Karl Štrekelj, the book Slovenske narodni pesni 1-4 (1895-1923). He also discloses historical and social background which influenced the publication of teh collection. Štrekelj\u27s significant views, particularly hist stand towards the folk culture, are introduced, and his work appraised.The author revises some earlier evaluations of Štrekelj\u27s opus, made by Štrekelj\u27s contemporaries and followers. By pointing to the both deficiencies and still valid aspects of Štrekelj\u27s work, the author qualifies his contribution as exceptional for Slovenian folkloristics. He emphaisises however, the necessity of historical approach since by using contemporary criteria Štrekelj\u27s work would be misprized.Avtor v svojem delu predstavlja najpomembnejše delo slovenskega slavista in folklorista Karla Štreklja, knjigo Slovenske narodne pesmi 1-4. Ob zbirki razgrinja zgodovinsko in družbeno ozadje, ki je vplivalo na zasnovo in izdajo zbirke, hkrati pa avtor predstavlja Štrekljev znanstveni nazor in njegov pogled na ljudsko kulturo in oceni Štrekljevo delo. Avtor revidira nekatere ocene Štrekljevih sodobnikov in nadaljevalcev njegovega dela. Ob opozarjanju na pomanjkljivosti in prispevek dobre srani Štrekljevega dela pa prikaže Štrekljev izjemni slovenskii folkloristiki, hkrati pa poudarja nujnost zgodovinskega pogleda, saj bi le z današnjimi merili krivično ovrednotili Štrekljevo ime
