The Revelation of the Unknown or… (less known Details from the Reception of english Literature in croatian Criticism 1918-1940)

Abstract
The author deals with less known achievements in the so-called activity of mediators of English literature (or British literature written in the English language) in domestic criticism during the period between 1918 and 1940 in Croatia; and the reflection or neglecting of its pioneer and also animatory work (the number of people who could understand English was small) during the period before and after World War II.
The reasons for this neglecting or even cover ups were also of non-literary nature. Such treatment of undoubtedly unavoidable names and facts in the procedure of reception of English literature in Croatian criticism largely abstracted the circumstances in which the mediators dwelt/could dwell, and also underestimated their intentions which were, above all, – humanistic.
