Proceedings of the 1st scientific conference held in Zagreb from November 30 to December 1, 2001 at the National and University Library in Zagreb as part of the project "Croatian Modernism of the 20th Century".
In the first part, briefly, the characteristics of mannerism are described with regard to those aspects of literary art that are essential. The second part presents an exemplification of the conclusions reached in the first part.
At a time when Croatian writers abroad were often presented only as "Yugoslav", this lexicon clearly and systematically presented Croatian literature as a separate national literature for the first time after World War II.
Žmegač does not only talk about the visual arts, but about the "spirit" of the era that permeates literature: sensuality, the moment, subjectivity, decorativeness, eroticism, decadence, but also the crisis of identity in the fin-de-siècle atmosphere.
This is one of the first synthetic analyses of the so-called Croatian fantasy generation (or "Borgesians", "young prose" with elements of fantasy) that appeared in the late 1960s and during the 1970s.
The first third of the book provides reviews of Russian literature (Chekhov, Ljeskov, Pushkin...). The second chapter deals with world literature (Balzac, Stendhal, Roland...), and the third chapter contains general articles.
