This article sets out to show that the information about the Slovene-Croat poet Stanko Vraz that prevailed in Slovenia is not random, but occured as a kind of "canonical negative", overdetermined by the depiction of nationally cohesive research into the national poet France Prešeren. It can be concluded that Vraz's legacy was located to a specific field on a structural edge of Prešeren's myth, the latter being reproduced through the national literary canon and education.
