Abstract
Within his comprehensive literature and scientific work, monographic studies by Miroslav Šicel occupy a central place. There are only a few literature historians in Croatia who have been so devoted to their literary genre and who have achieved such remarkable results. In their symbolic way monographies connect all important milestones of Šicel.s lucrative scientific career. They show the full extent of his methodology, i.e. his understanding of approach to a literary text, articulation of functions, esthetic and axiologic parametres. From his Disertation on Franjo Horvat Ki. (1962), through studies on Mato. (1966), Kovačić (1984), Gjalski (1984) and the monography on Rikard Jorgovanić (1990) Šicel remained true to his principles of methodology: the writer is systematically analyzed within time and society he worked in, and his text are not isolated, self-sufficient units but artistic organisms, the meeting points of different field lines: historical, social, cultural, political. No comprehensive analysis or valid understanding of art is possible without considering all the stated factors.
