Summary/Abstract: The aim of this paper is to analyse and compare several collections of Serbian poetry, made in the twentieth and in the beginning of the twenty-first century, primarily through the examination of the accompanying texts written by their authors, particulary if they contain a critical, theoretical and methodological basis for specifying the selection criteria. It is important to determine how the selections were made, namely, to determine the role of aestheticism – the performance of aesthetic values as axiological criteria in their formation. Therefore, the function of those collections in the field of the history of literature and literary canon, would be pointed out. Attention is primarily focused on highlighting the explicitly shown principles of selection, formed by the editors themselves, without problematising how the subsequent collection followed the mentioned methodological procedure.
