TOPIC ADDENDUM: WOMAN IN SERBIAN LITERATURE LEPOSAVA MIJUŠKOVIĆ – SERBIAN MODERN AGE INSTITUTOR

Abstract

In this text a literary phenomenon of Leposava Mijušković (Jagodina, 1882 – 1910), the earlydeceased and almost forgotten Serbian authoress at the onset of the 20th century, is deliberated on. Her not so wide- range literary achievement (only four comprehensive prose works were published in the Srpski književni glasnik, during the period of 1905-1907), indicates, however, its extraordinary innovative approach in the literary theme and subject treatment, not concordant with the literary poetics of Modern Age only, but can be regarded as its onset as well. Leposava Mijušković’s literary achievement is also reflected upon within the context of ( nwritten) history of female writings in Serbian literature, the field in which the authoress is also represented as a precursor of the modern 20th century Serbian prose writing.
