세르비아 모더니즘문학의 두 경향 - Јован Дучић와 Алекса Шантић의 시문학 경향을 중심으로 -

Abstract

In this paper, we took a view of the universality and distinct characteristics of Jovan Dučić and Aleksa Šantić, the typical two writers in the Serbian modern literature. In the transition from the 19th to the 20th century, Serbian literature took on all the fundamental characteristics of a modern literature. Modern poetry began with the Parnassians and the transition to symbolism. Literary criticism also changed, as did literary theory. Literary theory left the external interpretation of literature behind and moved to internal interpretation. The Serbian lands under Austro-Hungarian rule (Vojvodina, Bosnia, Herzegovina, and the Serbian regions of Croatia) continued to be affected by the influence of German literature. In the Kingdom of Serbia and its capital Belgrade, the French influence suddenly grew stronger. The Serbian modern literature caused by the resistance to the realism, naturalism and positivism, and then with the historical and social background has developed into the two different literary trends. The first trend is Jovan Dučić’s poetry which has followed the flow of western european literary modernism, and the second trend is Aleksa Šantić’s poetry which has evolved into its own flow pursuing nationalistic and optimistic literary trends.
