	References and footnotes

The Peter Klepec folkloric corpus dates back to the early 19th century, spanning three centuries, from the initial collection of Janez Zima, to early expansion by Matevž Ravnikar-Poženčan [sl], Dragutin Hirc [hr] and a number of pseudonymous ethnographers, until the more systematic efforts of Jože Primc and others. The corpus has attracted a number of prominent folklorists, including Maja Bošković-Stulli, Monika Kropej Telban and Zmago Šmitek [sl]. Through fictional popularizations, Klepec grew from an obscure legend to a national myth, beginning with Ivan Cankar's Podobe iz sanj [sl] in 1917, but even more prominently in children's literature from 1956 on thanks to France Bevk. An extensive bibliography was published in Moric and Perinić Lewis 2019, A more detailed bibliography focusing on Peter Klepec in magazines before WWI had been published by Marko Smole. Other, less complete bibliographies were published within older monographs.
