Summary/Abstract: The question always present in the reception studies, if not openly, then implicitly, is: where should we look when trying to understand how literary works are received in a particular context? The easiest answer is that we should see what people (critics, teachers, ordinary readers) have written (articles, monographs, school books, diaries, private correspondence) about their understanding of the works in question. But what if it is not possible? Such a problem has also been encountered and methods developed or proposed to solve it.
