Bejtexhi

[3] The genre of literature created by bejtexhinj in the 18th century prevailed in different cities of what is now Albania, Kosovo, Chameria as well as in religious centers.

A further step in the literature was initiated when other Bejexhinj such as Hasan Zyko Kamberi and Zenel Bastari reflected on the events of the time, describing the hard lives of the poor, the insecurities of the future, and their discontent at the conditions of feudalism.

Some authors of this type were closer to the people and included in their poems elements of daily life, using realistic social themes with a strong critical sensibility.

The number of poets that this era produced is considerably large coming from cities such as Berat, Elbasan, Shkodër, Gjakova, Pristina, and smaller towns as Kolonjë, Frashër, and Konispol.

The flow of bejtexhi literature lost its influence at the beginning of the 19th century, but in some places like Kosovo, this tradition lasted even longer from authors such as Maliq Rakoveci and Rexhep Voka.
