Sažetak
Many folk calendars which were printed in Virovitica between the two World Wars were, considering their numbers and diversity, extremely popular in the Virovitica district. In the paper, 49 folk calendars are analysed. So far in works from the area of Croatian literary periodicals there has been no mention of these serial publications which abound in literary forms, although the folk reading matter actively participated in the long-term process of building the population’s readership determinedly delayed the process of modernization and the education system. Since the Virovitica calendars were issued by local publishers, the aim of the paper is to establish what mental, culturological, political and world-view specificities are present in them. The commercial success of the Virovitica annual editions, on the one hand, can be interpreted as a consequence of the characteristic post-war “hunger for reading”, and on the other hand as a reflection of the traditional culture of the prevailing rural population, who partly measured the practical advice for life and information about the events according to just what was published in the popular calendars. In studying the Virovitica interwar annual editions the author of this paper has dedicated special attention to the poetics of the calendars’ entertaining and educational folk texts, the structure of individual publications and the relationship of the editors towards the tradition of publishing folk calendars.
