| Summary: | In an attempt to give an overview of theoretical and historical aspects of
Mannerism in literature and art, the author begins by establishing its poetical
principles. Afterwards he also discusses the elements of Mannerism
which are found in Marin Držić’s poetry, pastorals, comedies, tragedies
and conspiratorial letters. Particular emphasis is placed on the interpretation
of Grižula due to the strong presence of Mannerist elements in this
comedy. The “spirit” of Mannerism consists of various features: mixing
of reality and illusion, exaggeration, unease, anguish, autobiographic
elements, perspective, parallelism, simultaneousness, transience, repentance,
eclecticism, ambiguity, complexity and mystery. These features are
demonstrated on a number of selected examples and their effect is described
as “a cumulative Manerist gift”. This notion includes the interpendence
of subjective, social and chronological intersections. The correlations
between real and unreal events determine different modes of expression. |
