Saint Francis in Isidor Kršnjavi’s novels

Abstract

The figure and work of Iso Kršnjavi is still shrouded
by numerous obscurities, disapprovals, manipulations, tendentiousness,
mistakes and delusions, mainly and most often with
negative conotations and scorn. Although there is a highly
challenging and culturally welcomed monographic study along with
several trials to correct some historical and uncritical blunders,
the layers of historical lack of understanding and intentionally
controlled “sins” burden the scientifically founded talk about this
exceptionally significant person of Croatian cultural, political and
social life at the turn of the century.
The aim of this work has a literary sign, and it is prompted
by Višnja Stahuljak’s three sonets which, by their intertextual and
intermedial potentiality, are connected with Kršnjavi and his work,
especially with his novels about St. Francis.
