FRAN GALOVIĆ BETWEEN I. VOJNOVIĆ AND M. KRLEŽA

Nikola Ivanišin ; Zadar

Abstract

According to the most important work in his literary activity, F. Galović (1887–1914) can be placed somewhere between the Croatian »moderns« (1895–1914) and the Croatian literary avant-garde (1910–1923). This is particularly evident from his principal prose works, the short stories »Začarano ogledalo« (Enchanted Miror, 1912) and »Ispovijed« (Confession, 1914).
The most characteristic part of the creative work of Ivo Vojnović is sublimated in the »Enchanted Mirror«, while the »Confession« anticipates things to come that will later on be chiefly manifested in the literary work of the early Krleža.
Since Ivo Vojnović was one of the main representatives of the Croatian »Moderna«, and Miroslav Krleža the outstanding champion of the Croatian literary Avant-garde, one could say that Galović, by his two drams, and particularly by his liric poetry, did not only creatively link two great Croatian writers Vojnović and Krleža – but also the two literary movements, i. e. the Croatian »Moderna« and the Croatian literary Avant-garde. All considered, one might conclude that F. Galović in his life-time, and owing to his erly death – was not an originator or direction-changer, but, above all, an important provider of a link between two great authors and two important periods in the development of the Croatian literature.
