BIO(BIBLIO)GRAPHIES: THE BEGINNINGS OF THE SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH OF CROATIAN LITERATURE IN BOSNIA AND HERZEGOVINA

Sa？etak Croatian literature in Bosnia and Herzegovina and presents biographical and bio-bibliographical work of seven authors, starting with Filip Lastric in the 18th century to Tugomir Alaupovic in the first half of the 20th century. We observe how these authors perceived the literature and its historical dimension, especially how they approached the basic problems of literature history, such as defining literary corpus, choice of writers, periodisation, literary-historical interpretation and validation of literary work, as well as what solutions they offered. The gradual abandonment of the bio-bibliographical framework and the application of more complex literary-historical approaches are also analysed
