Programi i manifesti u hrvatskoj književnosti
The collection "Programs and Manifestos in Croatian Literature", edited by Miroslav Šicel and published by Liber in 1972, represents a key collection of texts that shaped the direction of Croatian literature through various historical phases.
The collection contains an introduction and several thematic sections that chronologically trace the development of Croatian literature:
From the Croatian Literary Revival to Realism: This section explores the period from the Illyrian Movement and the National Revival to Realism, emphasizing how the literary programs of the time reflected national and social aspirations.
Croatian Modernism: Focuses on the transition from the 19th to the 20th century, when manifestos promoting aesthetic autonomy and individualism appeared, reflecting European modernist trends.
Avant-garde and Social Literature: Analyzes the manifestations of avant-garde movements and socially engaged literature between the two world wars, with special emphasis on the impact of social changes on literary creativity.
Literature after World War II: Reflects on post-war literary trends, including socialist realism and later tendencies towards pluralism and experimentalism.
The collection provides valuable insight into the evolution of literary ideas and movements in Croatia, enabling readers to understand how literary programs and manifestos have reflected and shaped cultural, social, and political changes throughout history.
