Summary/Abstract: The present paper aims at highlighting the factors that contributed to Slavici's approach to folk creation, as well as the theoretical folklore and ethnographic preoccupations of the Transylvanian prose writer. A decisive moment in his work on the realm of folklore is the period when Slavici was the editor of the Tribuna magazine in Sibiu, succeeding through the program of this magazine to unleash the potential of folk literature. As a theoretician, Slavici has written some studies on folklore issues, succeeding in gaining a vast folk culture that we can find in the beginning of his literary creation. An important contribution in the field of folklore is represented by his Folk Literature (Literatura poporana) course, published in the "Educatorul" magazine, Slavici considering the folk heritage as important in the development of a nation.
