• British Library - Croatian Collections
  This page provides an overview of the Croatian Collections, illustrated by specific examples. We acquire material across the spectrum of the humanities and social sciences...The Croatian collections in the British Library include some of the earliest material printed in the Glagolitic script; the 1508 Mirakuli slavne dive Marie (C.48.b.23) printed in Senj (Zeng) by Grgur Senjanin, Croatian Missal printed in 1528 [C.52.e.1] and a Missal printed in Rijeka (Fiume) by Šimun Kožièiæ Benja in 1531 [C.110.e.2.(1)]. The towns which came under Venetian rule developed a rich popular literature, written in the Latin script. Among early editions of the first Croatian imaginative writers and philosophers in the British Library are the first edition of Hanibal Luciæ's Scladanya izvarsnich pisan razlicich (Venice, 1556) [G.18453] and Rubigna (Venice, 1585) [C.34.e.37], and a collection of poems by Dinko Ranjina printed in 1563...

• Croatia: Themes Authors Books Yale University Collections
  Croat enthusiasm for the unification of the South Slavic lands receded markedly after the establishment of the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats, and Slovenes, subsequently renamed Yugoslavia, in 1918. For the majority of Croats the new state did not represent national liberation but a new tyranny under the politically dominant Serbs. Since the Croat Peasant Party of Stjepan Radiæ (1871-1928) was from the beginning the only political group in Croatia that openly opposed Serbian hegemony, it became the dominant political power in the country. After the assassination of Radiæ on the floor of Belgrade's National Assembly in 1928 and the establishment of the royal dictatorship in 1929 radical anti-Belgrade options became increasingly audible. On the Left, the Communist Party produced two leading figures – Miroslav Krleža (1893-1981), Croatia's foremost twentieth-century writer, playwright and social critic, and Josip Broz Tito (1892-1980), the Communist general secretary, who would lead the Communist partisans to power in the course of the Second World War. On the Right, the Ustaša (Insurgent) movement of Ante Paveliæ (1889-1959), promoted independence through reliance on the Fascist powers....

  ....Early May 1945 the Croatian Army and civilians were withdrawing westwards through Slovenia with the objective to reach the Allies' units.
