Branko Vodnik

Branko Vodnik (born Branko Drechsler; 26 February 1879 – 14 June 1926) was a Croatian literary historian.

Vodnik pursued Slavic studies in Zagreb, Prague, and Kraków. Vodnik taught Croatian literature at schools in Karlovac, Osijek, and Zagreb. He became a professor of Croatian literature at the University of Zagreb in 1911 and held the position until his death. His most significant work is the History of Croatian Literature: From the Humanism to the late 18th Century (Croatian: Povijest hrvatske književnosti: od humanizma do potkraj XVIII. stoljeća) published in 1913 as the first part of a two-volume history. The second volume covering the subsequent period remains unfinished, kept as fragmentary work in the Croatian State Archives.^[1]
