Summary
Slavko Ježić: Croatian literature from the beginning to the present day 1100-1941
"In the book, I tried to emphasize the connection of literary work, both in all Croatian provinces and between certain periods; I tried to emphasize mutual influences as well as personal contacts between different writers. In this way, one can clearly see how, despite centuries of fragmentation and living in different states and under different rulers, Croats still had a permanent sense of commonality everywhere national belonging, that they strove for a common literary language, for a unique literature, and finally for their complete and common national state." - Author
This is the first complete history of Croatian literature, in which exhaustive and precise data are placed in the context of general political and cultural history.
