The Canon of Senj and Croatian Writer Ferdinand Babić. Values and weaknesses of his work

Summary/Abstract: In the article is presented the lesser-known Croatian writer from the 19th century, Ferdinand Babić. In the introduction is a description of the basic characteristics of Croatian political and literal life from the 1850’s to middle 1880’s. Here his work is elaborated as a poet and literary man by the examination of the subjects, development of a fable, characters, the descriptions, the romantic and realistic elements in his works, his morals and his messages. Based on this analysis of Ferdinand Babić’s literal works here is a judgment about the good and bad characteristics of his poetry and novels. It is emphasised that Babić gave the public what they wanted to read at the time. By his literal characteristics he was a writer of his own time. He deserves a place in contemporaneous Croatian history of literature because of the positive sides of his work.
