摘要：Part one of this paper reminds us on the so far critical, literary and historical discussions on Romantic and Realistic elements of style of Šenoa’s prose (Barac, Škreb, Frangeš). In part two – refering to literary, historical and interpretative methodology which Skok uses in his analysis of Šenoa’s short story «Kanarinčeva ljubovca» (Canary’s Lover), the author of this paper proves that the story contains all crucial elements of realistic prose, thus being among the first works to start the period of realistic stylistic formation.
