Summary
Ivo Vojnović: Psyche
First edition
His dramatic debut Psyche in 1889 marked a turning point in Croatian theater as well as literature. Namely, on the occasion of the opening of the new building of the Croatian National Theatre, a competition was held for the premiere of the drama. Although the favorite was Ante Tresić Pavičić with his historical tragedy Veliki Simeon in the footsteps of the nineteenth-century theater tradition, Vojnović's salon comedy won, and it earned him the attribute of the founder of modern Croatian drama.
