Sažetak
The paper discusses the three earliest theoretical works on comparative literature, all published in the 1930s. The monograph "La littérature comparée" ("Comparative Literature") by Paul Van Tieghem (1931) was followed the very next year by "Poredbena ili komparativna književnost" ("Comparative Literature"), authored by Ivo Hergešić, who had previously attended Fernand Baldensperger’s seminar at the Sorbonne in Paris. Both books were well known to Anton Ocvirk, a Slovenian doctoral student, who after two years of studies at the Sorbonne and Collège de France, published in 1936 his own theoretical work "Teorija primerjalne literarne zgodovine" ("Theory of Comparative Literary History"). Both the Croatian and Slovenian works closely follow Van Tieghem’s study. What is worth noting is that preserved Ocvirk’s copy of Hergešić’s book contains Ocvirk’s annotations. Like Van Tieghem, Hergešić and Ocvirk examine thematology ("Stoffgeschichte"), but with fewer reservations than their predecessor. Ocvirk, indeed, greatly elaborates on Van Tieghem’s classification. It is worth noting that Van Tieghem’s source ("émetteur") – intermediary ("transmetteur") – recipient ("récepteur") triad, which was adopted by Hergešić, also resonates in Ocvirk’s work. Ocvirk refers to Van Tieghem’s doxology (doxologie) as a “linear study” that also examines the success and influence of authors and their works abroad. Hergešić further adopts Van Tieghem’s research on the
foreign sources utilized by the authors without using the term crénologie, which Ocvirk refers
to as a “concentric study”. Both address the mediating role of translation. Moreover, Hergešić’s
extensive use of Croatian literary examples likely encouraged Ocvirk to seek out numerous
Slovenian examples for his own book.
