Čovječanstvo i Leda. Kamovljeva komedija Čovječanstvo inkorporirana u Krležinoj Ledi
Čovječanstvo (Humanity) and Leda. Kamov’s Comedy Čovječanstvo Incorporated into Krleža’s Leda

Summary/Abstract: The inspiring hermeneutic connection between Kamov’s and Krleža’s texts points to a constantly dynamic and varying interpretations of the writings of these two canonic Croatian writers. In an absurd manner, Miroslav Krleža negated Janko Polić Kamov’s personality and literature by ignoring his proto-avant-garde position in Croatian and European literature, while at the same time associating with Kamov’s best friends and by being thoroughly acquainted with his work and biography. The literary work of Janko Polić Kamov, Croatia’s proto-avant-garde writer, is recognizably reflected in a significant segment of Miroslav Krleža’s literary output. At the same time, this by no means diminishes Krleža’s artistic and cultural contribution as the pivotal figure of Croatian and European literature.
