Sažetak
Authentic Croatian literary growth having been impeded by the imperial ideologies at work in nineteenth-century central and southern Europe, most literary figures in Croatia were unable to assume their rightful position as representatives of a national literature and culture recognized as such in the European context of the time.Still, there were perhaps certain advantages to their predicamnet - that is to say, observing contemporary European writers from the perspective of a minor literature and language at two removes, mediated through translation from distant foreign languages to more familiar local ones, they were able to maintain a critical stance towards them and draw parallels between various kinds of European experience with some degreee of objectivity. Although imperial domination appeared to have absorbed the notion of locality by appropriating its own autonomous substance, overseas authors could and did offer a window of opportunity of shedding light. Thus Dickens's work was able to illuminate specific Croatian issues by means of its role in education.
