Književni leksikon: Pisci - Djela - Pojmovi
An encyclopedic work that provides a systematic overview of literature through three key segments: authors, their works, and literary terms. It is intended for a wider audience, and serves as a reference source for the study of world and Croatian literatu
The first part of the lexicon is dedicated to writers, covering key figures from ancient times to the present, with an emphasis on the European and Croatian literary tradition. Entries on authors include biographical information, the context of their work, and the significance of their contributions.
The second part focuses on works, offering summaries and analyses of key texts, from epics like the Iliad to modern novels, with a focus on their form, theme, and influence. The third part explains literary terms, from basic ones (e.g., metaphor, sonnet) to more complex theoretical concepts (e.g., structuralism, postmodernism), making them accessible.
Solar's approach is clear, concise, and academically grounded, with an emphasis on the Croatian literary canon as well as the global context. The work is a valuable tool for understanding literary history and theory, although sometimes limited in its coverage of contemporary authors outside the Croatian circle.
