Literary Historian Vice Zaninović

Šime Jurišić

Abstract

The paper presents life and works of the modern Croatian literary historian Vice Zaninović, born in Stari Grad on the island of Hvar in 1905, who died in Zagreb in 1986. A professor at the University of Zagreb, Zaninović distinguished himself in composing school readers of Croatian and other South Slav literatures, which because of their liberal outlook provoked severe criticism from some dogmatic Communist ideologues. He also wrote monographies on several prominent contemporary Croatian writers like August Cesarec, Vladimir Nazor, Dinko Šimunović, M. Cihlar Nehajev. Two of his later works can be seen as a token to his native place: one is a bio-bibliography of the well-known Croatian literary critic Rev. Ante Petravić (1874-1941), also from Stari Grad; the other was published in 1974 for the centennial of the “Croatian Reading Room” in Stari Grad.
