Summary: | The paper discusses the presence of two icons of Serbian romanticism in
contemporary culture. The male icon, Petar Petrovic Njegos (1813–1851),
and the female one, Milica Stojadinovic Srpkinja (1828–1878), are presented.
The main claim of the paper is that after the demise of socialist Yugoslavia
in the 1990s, when a new national identity reemerged, few women writers
introduced the central figures of romanticism as main characters in their prose
works in order to take part in feminist and national discourse. This tendency
is illustrated with Milica Micic Dimovska’s novel Last Fascinations of MSS
(1996) and Ljubica Arsic’s short story The Other One Who Waits in the Dark
Night (1998). However, in the first decade of 21st century, these icons of romanticism
also became heroes of popular literature. The case of Isidora Bjelica
and her two prose works Secret Life of P. P. Njegos (2007) and The Serbian
Woman (2009) illustrates this point. |
