Homeland poetry

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Under regional poetry can be put together poetry and prose, which - often from local point of view - with native content and local issues of a village , a valley , a city , a country or region concerned. The authors of this genre are called local poets .

Andreas Dorschel distinguishes between “silent” and “naming homeland poetry”. While this examines the historical existence of a homeland, it leaves such concrete circumstances in the vague, for example to conjure up the magic of the atmosphere of a landscape.

Pure dialect literature is often, but by no means always, local poetry. In addition, there are dialect-related spellings in which the story is told in the standard language , but the protagonists are represented verbatim in the - mostly softened - dialect or regiolect . Comparable is the Heimatfilm , which often takes motifs from Heimat poetry and translates them into films .

Homeland poetry can be found in all regions of Europe.
