CRITICAL APPROACHES TO BYRON'S WORK IN CROATIA FROM THE END OF 19th CENTURY TO THE FIRST WORLD WAR

Helena Peričić-Jakovljević

Abstract

Literary criticism in Croatia in the period from 1891 to the First World War shows a great interest in Byron.
There were three predominant critical approaches to Byron’s work: academic (Milivoj Srepel, Vladoje Dukat), impressionistic (Antun Gustav Matos) and »social« (Antun Radic).
However, despite the spread of the texts on Byron, the influence or rather the incentive of Byron's work on Croatian criticism was not very deep. Such a reception of Byron might be connected with the tendency
of Croatian literature not to remain only the field of expressing patriotism — as it was considered to be previously — but to absorb new ideas and models of European literature at the beginning of 20th century.
