Abstract

Literary and culturo-anthropological research of Croatian popular
sermons of the 18th and 19th century has been carried out along two
lines: in relation to everyday life, and in relation to the reaction of those to whom the sermons were delivered. In the literary sense, the taste of a broad auditorium, near to the tradition of oral literature, together with worldview, was built up by way of the written and the spoken word, on the basis particularly of 18th century sermons, on numerous examples, a literary folk sermon type, of Western European literary tradition. Research of sermons from the18th century, with a selection of the sermons themselves, was published in the book Fear of God (Zečević 1993), while the study on Croatian folk sermons of the 19th century, which monitors the changes which occurred in relation to the 18th century, was published in the journal Književna smotra (Zečević 1994:213— —238).
