Милош Црњански и Душан Васиљев између агоније и екстазе
Miloš Crnjanski and Dušan Vasiljev between agony and ecstasy

Summary/Abstract: Value judgments when it comes to two writers and their works can never be complete and accurate, but Miloš Crnjanski (1893-1977) and Dušan Vasiljev (1900-1924) share many similarities in creative, spiritual, biographical and even geographic terms. Despite their different destinies and distinctive critical appraisals, the similarities in their lyrics mainly stem from the fact that the two poets published their work in one of the most significant and complex moments in the development of the Serbian poetry, when a series of foreign and domestic literary trends came forward under the name of Expressionism, namely Modernism. We therefore tried to demonstrate in our paper that, in the case of Vasiljev, epigonism was out of question, although Crnjansky was an idol and a permanent source of inspiration to him, because his poetry was indeed personal, which was useless to prove.
