Josip Kosor, a portrait as a contribution towards the (cultural) identity of the area
Ivan Bošković
Abstract
Josip Kosor is undoubtedly one of the outstanding names of the
Croatian literature. He was a poet, story-writer, travel-writer, and a novelist, but he will be best remembered as a playwright, receiving a signifi cant reception and recognition in Europe. This reputation has considerably contributed towards breaking of the stereotypes with regard to the Croatian people, at the same time creating the author’s own image. This experience is also important in the forming of the identity of the area, as is the River Krka Basin, which determines a small part of Kosor’s biography – both literary and personal. The paper lays a particular emphasis upon Kosor’s work as a playwright: his dramatic oeuvre.
