The Three Misses of the Cavalier\u27s Canon (Female Authorship in Revaluations of the Croatian Literary Canon after 2000)

The essay presents some prevailing tendencies in the reception of three authors, Marija Jurić Zagorka, Zofka Kveder and Isidora Sekulić in the context of the revaluation of the Croatian national literary canon after 2000 with a special emphasis on the status of their female authorship. Recent readings of their writings and the interpretations of their public activity show different strategies of introducing gender differences into the national canon, but also with different effects, from relativization of norms and conventions of the literary canon by affirming gender difference to continuous confirmation of gender blindness of the literary canon
