Croatian Literary Society

The Croatian Literary Society, founded in 1836, was an important cultural organization aimed at promoting Croatian language, literature, and national identity. It brought together writers, poets, and scholars to encourage literary development and preserve Croatian cultural heritage during a period of national awakening. The society organized literary events, published works, and supported Croatian authors, playing a key role in fostering national pride and cultural independence within the broader context of 19th-century European nationalism. Its efforts helped strengthen Croatian literature and contributed to the country's cultural revival.
