Summary/Abstract: At the end of 2021, Đorđe Despić's study on the critical and essayistic oeuvre of the great Serbian poet, essayist, critic, and anthologist Miodrag Pavlović (1928–2014) was published under the title The Interpreter and Poem: Essays by Miodrag Pavlović, which is a slightly modified doctoral dissertation of prof. Despića defended in 2013. In October 2022, this study was also crowned with the "Đorđe Jovanović" award for the best monographic study published in the previous year. This fact recommends particularly paying attention to this study. With this work, Despić continues the study of various aspects of the creativity of Miodrag Pavlović, which began with the book Poreklo pesme (Agora, 2008) about the potential of intertextuality in the poetry of this poet, which represented a unique study of this kind in Serbian literary science.
