Summary/Abstract: In my paper I deal with the genre/methodological dilemmas of writing a monograph in relation to Mihály Szegedy-Maszák’s Kosztolányi-monograph. With an overview of the relevant literature, I explore the following questions: How did the change of the authoritarian-canonical view influence the expectations related to genre, and what is the role of the biographical view in monographs today? How can the boundaries be crossed without destroying the genre? Mihály Szegedy-Maszák’s Kosztolányi monograph offers the possibility to answer these questions.
