Summary/Abstract: Regional literature and regionalism as notions which refer to culture and arts, bearing a deep meaning, have been present for a very long time in the Croatian imagination. Slavonian regional literature goes far into the past. Adam Krčelić’s work from 1774 Scriptorum ex regno Sclavoniae a saeculo XIV. usque ad XVII. Inclusive collectio has been regarded as the most famous historical work of the Slavonian literature. According to Stanislav Marijanović, the Slavonian regional component has been introduced in the 15th century by the humanist poet Janus Pannonius, born in the Osijek area. It is thus the aim of this paper to draw attention to those authors in whose works the necessity of the knowledge of the Slavonian regionalism and belonging to a certain place, categories being brought to students in primary schools, have been noted through the thematic and stylistic complexity. The purpose of this paper is to point to one of the authors (Josip Kozarac, Ivan Kozarac and Vladimir Kovačić) in whose works right across the thematic and stylistic necessity of understanding the complex reads Slavonia regional identity and belonging to a particular area as to those categories that are already transmitted to students in elementary education. The general purpose of the paper is to determine the representation of these three Slavonian authors in primary school textbooks. The textbooks have been regarded as fundamental means of transfer, bearing essential aesthetic values that are in this way becoming parts of the individual’s general literal culture, underlying the educational layer of literature classes.
