A classic work of Croatian literary historiography. The edition covers the periods from oral tradition to modernism, emphasizing the interference of oral and written literature, sociological context, aesthetic norms, and European connections.
Proceedings of the 1st scientific conference held in Zagreb from November 30 to December 1, 2001 at the National and University Library in Zagreb as part of the project "Croatian Modernism of the 20th Century".
Žmegač does not only talk about the visual arts, but about the "spirit" of the era that permeates literature: sensuality, the moment, subjectivity, decorativeness, eroticism, decadence, but also the crisis of identity in the fin-de-siècle atmosphere.
The work is theoretically based, but also focused on application in literary analysis, which is why it plays an important role in Croatian literary theory and academic teaching.
This is one of the first synthetic analyses of the so-called Croatian fantasy generation (or "Borgesians", "young prose" with elements of fantasy) that appeared in the late 1960s and during the 1970s.
