Svetolik Ranković

Svetolik P. Ranković (1863–1899) bio je srpski pisac iz perioda realizma. Iako njegovo književno delo nije obimno, kritika ga ubraja u pronicljive autore koji su uspeli da prikažu sliku Srbije osamdesetih i devedesetih godina 19. veka.

Pošto je završio Bogosloviju, Ranković je otišao u Kijev, gde je upisao Duhovnu akademiju. U Kijevu se upoznao sa ruskom i svetskom literaturom, a najviše na njega utiču dela Tolstoja, Gogolja, Gončarova, Koroljenka i drugih ruskih pisaca. Uticaj Tolstoja i Dostojevskog posebno je primetan u Rankovićevim romanima i odnosi se, pre svega, na izbor teme i junaka, slikanje unutrašnjeg života, humanistički odnos prema čoveku zapalom u bespomoćan položaj, prirodu sporednih lica kao prikrivenih komentara pojedinih ju

Momčilo Nastasijević

Momčilo Nastasijević, srpski pisac, rođen je 06. oktobra 1894. godine (23. septembra po starom kalendaru) u Gornjem Milanovcu, a umro 13. februara 1938. godine u Beogradu.

U svojim shvatanjima poezije Nastasijević je dužnik simbolista. Osnovni pojam njegove poetike, "rodna" ili "maternja" melodija, proizlazi iz simbolističkog shvatanja muzike kao bića poezije. U traganju za tom melodijom pesniku valja pronicati s onu stranu pojava da bi stigao u neposredan dodir s onim što je neizrecivo, tajanstveno, mistično. Maternja je melodija, za Nastasijevića, zvuk izvornog, arhaičnog jezika; u srpskom slučaju to je, s jedne strane, melodija jezika narodne pesme, a s druge, melodija srednjovekovnih tekstova. Na ovoj tački, njegova neosimbolistička zaok
