ANOTHER PATHWAY TO THE “HISTORY OF ALBANIAN LITERATURE”

Summary/Abstract: From the first history book of Albanian literature, which is thought to be that of Alberto Straticôe dating back to the year 1896 then going on with the latest contributions by Robert Elsie and concluded by Florian Kienzle and Luan Topçiu, little is spoken on the life of books as a vivid and dynamic culture. Par consequence, their focus was neither on the history of Albanian industry nor on the Albanian reader. 'Stratico. Alberto. Manuale di letteratura albanese,Milano 1896. Elsie, Robert.

In a few words, this means that we have dealt intensively with authors, we have also analyzed the literary works, but we have not devoted the proper caution and attention to their point of destiny, i.e. the readers and even less to their receptive effects. Hence, it is evident that we are lacking one of the sides (not to say even the hypotenuse) of the triangle.
