Sažetak

The eminent Croatian writer Ivo Vojnović was in different ways linked with Zadar where he spent a number of years working for the city cultural institutions and publishing some of his works in the city periodicals.
In the period from 1877 till 1880 I. Vojnović collaborated in Narodni list sending his reports on cultural events in Zagreb, the capital of Croatia. These were at the same time his first published works. The poet lived in Zadar two times (1889—1891 and 1899—1903). At that time a number of eminent Croatian writers lived in Zadar, too (V. Nazor, J. Ćuka, M. Begović, R. Katalinić-Jeretov, etc.). Working for the Dalmatian Government, Ivo Vojnović was not in friendly relations with them; he was always in company with high officials, mostly Austrians and Italians.
In 1903 he acted for the secretary of the literary and scientific association Matica Dalmatinska and became the editor in chief of its literary magazine Glasilo Matice Dalmatinske. Having gathered a number of collaborators and quality works, the magazine was at the high level of quality in numbers that Ivo Vojnović edited. In the same year he was a reporting official of the Theatre Censor Council. At the first meeting he gave a negative critique of Viktor Car Emin's drama »Zimsko sunce« for which he said it would not be opportune to play because of the political reasons. The other Council members were of different opinion; the drama was soon played in Split.
There was something like a scandal at Matica Dalmatinska in connection with publishing of his drama »Gospodja sa suncokretom« (A Lady with a Sunflower). Numerous documents and correspondence about it have been preserved. The poet read his drama at the Literary Evening at the Croatian Reading Room (1912). He published some of the fragments in Narodni list, the paper which followed his literary work and informed its readers of it. The author read another work with success at the Literary Evening in Zadar; it was his drama »Smrt Majke Jugovića«.
He published 13 bibliographic units in the Zadar periodicals. Numerous are reports of him. His stay in Zadar and his cultural activity left some traces in the city and enriched its literary history. But it has not been found out how Zadar influenced his literary work. The fact is that in Zadar he was working at his most important things: Dubrovačka trilogija and others.
