Abstract

The paper presents the results of discovery and research of six plays written of the Croatian writer Vinko Kos (1914 -1945); he did not manage to publish these plays during his life-time and therefore they are still unknown to the public. Based on examples from these writtings and subsequent to set historical and theoretical frameworks they are examined for their aesthetic and general artistic qualities and closeness or distance from the prevailing models of the contemporary literary (drama) practice. Since Vinko Kos is one of the suppressed writers, his work, by historical (political and ideological) conditions, mostly remained silenced, misplaced, forgotten and insufficiently studied. In this paper he is being presented to the science of the Croatian literary history also as a playwright.
