Abstract
With his translations and articles in Croatian literary periodicals, Vladimir Jelovšek was an important mediator in Croatian reception of literature and visual arts of the early Czech Modernism. But today, he is also considered as a free verse initiator in Croatian poetry, as the first decadent Croatian poet and the first promotor of the work and philosophy of Stanislav Przybyszewski in Croatia. The paper attempts to complete the picture of Jelovšek’s literary and literary-critical work during his stay in Prague from 1897 until 1905 and explain the thesis on the possible influences of the Czech social environment, especially the circle around “Moderni revue”, on Jelovšek’s poetics and literary interests.
