Abstract
British-Croatian literary and cultural connections began to be studied at the end of the 19th century. Numerous valuable and thorough studies resulted, throwing light on various areas of the relations between the Croatian lands and England, Scotland, or Ireland. Outstanding for their extent and breadth of coverage are the recent books by Rudolf Filipović and Veselin Kostić. These works not only bring out many hitherto unknown facts and details, but encourage further work by local Anglicists. They do so especially by pointing out the existence of literary works of like genres in the two literatures, offering the possibility of literary comparison. Such comparisons require a clearer knowledge of the genre involved to help us "find our way, locate similarities and differences between the works in order to individualize the parts and properties of the one we are examining." Here we would like to draw attention to 'Jeđupka', a Carnival poem by Mikša Pelegrinović from the beginning of the 16th century, and to the masquerade 'The Gypsies Metamorphosed' by Ben Jonson, the English dramatist and poet and Shakespeare's contemporary
