Комический фольклор в уральских рукописных сборниках XIX в.

Abstract

The article analyses the comical folklore of five manuscripts which were collected in the Urals and forwarded to the Russian Geographical Society in 1848—1871. The majority of the comical art works is known due to the recordings made in other regions because the population of mining and metallurgical plant villages was formed by the migrants from different areas of Russia mainly from Its central and north-eastern regions. One can, however, observe that the plot of some comical art works reveal their close connection with the Urals realities.
