Summary/Abstract: A preliminary to a possible history of Hungarian literature in Romanian presents several methodological problems, which partly concern the methodology and practice of writing a literary history, and partly various phenomena in the Romanian and Hungarian literary media. The paper first deals with the international practice of writing a literary history and its influence on Hungarian discourse, then surveys the past twenty or twentyfive years’ experience of Hungarian literary studies concerning the topic. Next, it brings up several characteristics of Romanian literary history writing which may be relevant from the viewpoint of writing a history of Hungarian literature in Romanian. Last, it covers issues of fiction and literary translation, which can by no means be bypassed when planning and undertaking such a project.
