Summary/Abstract: The paper analyzes literary-critical texts published in the 1920s and 1930s that testify to the author’s significant turn to Catholic literature and the Catholic movement, which largely reflected on her literary work in the 1930s (Otac, 1931; Zlatko, 1934; Vječna zaručnica, 1939). This is evidenced by the literary journals in which Truhelka published, and which typically provided literary-critical reviews (Hrvatska prosvjeta, Obitelj, Luč, Hrvatska smotra, Hrvatska straža, Hrvatski list), as well as publishers who published her works (Hrvatsko književno društvo sv. Jeronima [Croatian Literary Society of St. Jerome]) and literary historians and critics who studied her work (Ljubomir Maraković, Josip Andrić, Petar Grgec, Zdenka Smrekar, Zdenka Marković). The promoted Catholic movement was also the key reason for ignoring Truhelka’s work after the Second World War, and the gradual literary-critical and cultural rehabilitation was made possible only in the late 1960s.
