Summary/Abstract: This article addresses the use of psychological knowledge in literary research throughout history. It analyses the methods of literary research from different eras in terms of the possibility of relating their elements to what is nowadays understood as the ‘psychology of literature’. At the same time, it proposes a broader understanding of both psychology and literary research, including a pre-scientific approach. The aim of the analysis is to observe more accurately than before the role of broad psychological knowledge in the development and application of the various theories of literary research.
