Abstract
This paper analyzes the relationship between traditional literary history and recent theories of cultural memory. Since the paper is dedicated to Dunja Faliπevac, a renowned
literary historian who studied old Croatian literature, it draws on her analyses of medieval and renaissance literature and particularly on her studies of epics. The analysis
shows that in her work Dunja Faliπevac frequently stepped out of the role of literary
historian and into the role of cultural analyst, since the cultural context, which arises
from the relationship between literary texts and nonliterary reality, allows for coherent
inferences. This is particularly evident in the complex historical context of Croatian
epics in which we simultaneously find a phenomenon within literary memory and the
relation towards the cultural context.
