Abstract

In the first half of the 19th century, calendars and almanacs first appear as popular writing attempting to attract the small literate Croatian readership. This paper intends to analyze calendar texts with examples of popular literary poetics that have been influential on the same task of non-literary function of literature as Croatian literature has been at the same tasks. Analysis of calendar material shows that the beginnings of what we term popular, mass entertaining writing can be found here. The forms of instructive and entertaining material in calendars exist even today, transformed into various columns of the daily and weekly press.
