Folk poetry has a theme (content) which is put in the medium of an 'averaged­out' dialect (formal aspect), its content is organised in a typical fashion (organization); its formal features are also regularised (metre and the rhyming techniques); above all it is sung (musical aspect). At times, in oral literature, gesture and movement are also factors.
Written literature dispensed with the gesture and movement of oral production. Folklore is the precursor or pioneer of literature in the sense that its content, or formal features, or organisations, or metre, or music might have entered into the literature either by the incorporation of the item or by the absorption of the item in which the traces of the original can still be found.
Researchers in the direction of tracing oral tradition in literature try to identify a folklore item which has been incorporated exactly. Warren E. Robert's article 'Folklore in the novels of Thomas Deloney' illustrates this point. He points out that Deloney frequently used legendry materials, folk etymology and certain motifs which are found in marchen. Proverb lore is also used as the treasure-trove of material. The novelist has also drawn superstitions from the oral sources. A dictionary of the 'proverbs in England in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries' has enabled the author to identify many of the folklore items.
