The studies and essays collected in this book are undoubtedly the author's seminal work, the sum of his previous research, but also a major work of contemporary Croatian literary criticism.
The book systematically explores the fundamental spiritual, cultural, and aesthetic sources of poetry. Through consideration of motifs, tradition, language, religion, and worldview, Grgec shows how poetic expression and experience are shaped.
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.
