Sažetak
This paper illuminates the literary beginnings of Ante Benešić (1864-1916) from the point of view of literary history and connected with his active participation in »Javor«, the schoolchildren’s literary society from 1878 to 1883 in Osijek, where he went to high school, and subsequently, from 1883, in the Croatian Academy Association called »Zvonimir«, in Vienna, where he was studying law. He published his work in Vijenac from 1888 to 1890. The poem Sunce/Sun can be considered his first poem, and it was written in 1880 and read in public in »Javor« in 1882, and then published, with a few more poems, in the almanac Zvonimir in 1886. Of particular interest here is the poem Little girl because it was put to music in 1887 by Ivan pl. Zajc. Along with it, the idyll Shepherd and Goose-girl was also read publicly in »Zvonimir« in 1883, heralding the development that was to move in the direction of the poetic idyll.
The beginnings of his dramatic work are marked by the writing of burlesque with no great artistic pretensions (for example Room no 13, a farce in one act, performed on May 2, 1901, in Zagreb) but meeting with considerable success, because of which as early as 1905 the position of Ante Benešić was immortalised among the leading dramatic writers and theatre people of the time in the memorial picture of the Celebration of Croatian Theatrical Art or Before the Doors of the Croatian Thalia Ivan Tišov.
