Anthology of Modern Serbian Lyric


Anthology of Modern Serbian Lyric is an anthology published in 1911 by Matica hrvatska in Zagreb, Austria-Hungary. The foreword for this book was written by Bogdan Popović.

The book has undergone several editions, including translations into the Slovene language in 1965. In 2011, Srpska književna zadruga, a member of the Board for Standardization of the Serbian Language, published the 100th anniversary edition.
