Sažetak
The paper investigates position of Slobodan Novak’s ouvre in Croatian literary histories, focusing mainly on relevant literary history volumes: specifically, the history of Croatian literature by Ivo Frangeš, Dubravko Jelčić, and Slobodan Prosperov Novak, as well as the history of Croatian novel by Krešimir Nemec. It also briefly discusses some relevant chapters from the collection entitled "Croatian Literature in the European Context", as well as the intriguing preface to Novak's selected works by Igor Mandić in the Five Centuries of Croatian Literature edition. Finally, the paper also includes the commentary to the preface to Novak’s Collected Works written by Tonko Maroević and published by Matica hrvatska. The main goal of this paper is to demonstrate, on the abovementioned selected examples of literary history, how Novak’s novels and novellas were highly appreciated and valued as top literary writing reaching the place in the literary canon even during Novak’s active participation in cultural life of Croatia and his intensive writing. Croatian literary historians were quick to recognize literary value and importance of the ouvre in progress, and influenced in a positive manner initial reception of his texts. These literary histories have indebted us with analytical insights, to greater or lesser degree of explication, on Novak’s writing; they are still considered relevant in terms of points they have made about Novak’s ouvre and should be considered when discussing his literary writing.
