Nazor’s Novel Bloody Days (Krvavi dani) in the Context of Croatian Historiographic Fiction

Ivan Bošković ; Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences Split

Abstract

In analyses of Vladimir Nazor’s literary work, his novels are least
mentioned. Written during different periods, the novels thematise the
issues that inspired him creatively. The novel Bloody Days is connected
to Nazor’s Istrian period and it, in a way, represents a retort to Italian
irredentist aspirations. The novel was written in the tradition of
historiographic fiction as set out by Šenoa, along with folk and popular
elements which have garnered a remarkable response and reception in
Croatian literary practice.

Keywords

Istrian themes; historiography fiction; Šenoa’s novels; traditional novel; national didacticism
