Summary/Abstract: Rikard Jorgovanic is a unique character of Croatian literature. In the time of Senoa’s realism, when writers used to choose the topics from Croatian reality, Jorgovanic’s romantic writing style was based on the motives and techniques characteristic for gothic literature while he took a psychological approach to the analysis of his characters. Critics were divided on the value of his works, as he was reproached for triviality and wrong choice of topics. However, with his motives and figures of speech he can be related to Edgar Allan Poe, the master of horror and suspense fiction.
