Croatia in the Baroque and the Enlightenment : a cultural survey /
Supičić, Ivo,editor.
Golub, Ivan,editor.
Tuksar, Stanislav,editor.
"This is the English edition of the third volume of a monumental five-volume survey undertaken by the Croatian Academy of Sciences and Arts. The series will provide the English-speaking world, experts and general readers alike, with a full, authoritative account of the rich, but for non-Croats very incompletely known, history of Croatian culture from the earliest times to the present. It is testimony to Croatia's national self-confidence that such an ambitious undertaking was initiated at a time when the country was still struggling to overcome the traumas associated with regaining its independent statehood after nearly nine centuries. It bears witness to the extraordinary range and remarkable erudition of Croatia's scholars that the enterprise is now being brought so magnificently to fruition. Volume III presents 50 essays charting the period from the early 17th to the late 18th century. The authors scrupulously and carefully assemble their evidence and deliver their conclusions on every important aspect - society, law, religion, culture, science, philosophy, medicine, language, literature, urban planning, architecture, visual arts and music. Richly illustrated with colour plates, maps and plans, it provides a major new resource for all those seeking to gain a broader understanding of the Baroque period and the Age of Enlightenment in Central Europe and the Adriatic region."
