Isidora Sekulić

Serbian writer (1877–1958)

Isidora Sekulić is remembered for writing that changed what came after it.

The record lists Isidora Sekulić as Serbian writer (1877–1958).

Isidora Sekulić was born at Mošorin in 1877. Her recorded nationality is Serbia.

Around the turn of the twentieth century, literary form itself came under argument, and the certainties of the realist novel were dismantled.

She worked as writer, literary critic and art critic.

Reputation in letters is unusually volatile: writers are forgotten for a generation and then recovered by one.

That the work was written from Serbia matters: language, censorship and the reach of a publishing industry decide which books travel and which stay local.

Isidora Sekulić died in 1958, aged 81. The books remain, which is the only durable form a writing life takes.
