Abstract
Nazorova Živana napisana je u Zadru 1902. i prije ponovljenog izdanja 1946. prerađivana je nekoliko puta. Navodeći razloge zbog kojih je u dosadašnjim istraživanjima - za razliku od ostalih autorovih djela - ostala zanemarena, u radu se nakon provedene analize određuje genološka pripadnost Živane epu te upućuje na nove njezine aspekte i na razloge višekratnih autorovih dorada. Na kraju se zaključuje kako Živana pruža podlogu za jednu alternativnu Nazorovu pjesničËku biografiju kojom se otvaraju nova tumačenja ne samo ovoga epa, već i sveukupnoga autorovog književnog opusa.Nazor’s Živana was written in Zadar in 1902 and before a second edition in 1946, it was rewritten several times. Listing reasons why in the so far research it has - as opposed to the other works by the same author - received little attention, after a conducted analysis, the paper determines Živana’s genealogical affiliation to the epic, indicating its new aspects as well as reasons of the author’s recurring modifications. In the end it is concluded that Živana provides basis for Nazor’s alternative poetic biography, introducing new interpretations not only of this epic, but of Nazor’s whole literary opus
