Sažetak
The Croatian comparatist and literary historian Zoran Kravar (1948–2013) defended his dissertation entitled The Structure of Poetic Image in Croatian Baroque Poetry in 1977, which he reworked into a book and published in 1980 under the title Function and Structure of Description in Croatian Baroque Poetry. The article analyses the terminological and compositional differences between the two variants, the most important of which is the replacement of the basic concept of ‘poetic image’ by the concept of ‘description’, which is more suitable for the analysis of early modern literature. In addition, the article presents Kravar’s model of analysing literary descriptions and then examines the reception of his book at the time of its publication and its influence on literary history in the following three decades. Kravar’s book is still an exemplary example of Croatian literary structuralism, an example of the creative application of a poetological approach to a literary text.
