Anthology of Modern Serbian Lyric (Antologija novije srpske lirike/Антологија новије српске лирике) is an anthology published in 1911 by Matica hrvatska in Zagreb, Austria-Hungary (modern day Croatia).[1] The foreword for this book was written by Bogdan Popović. It was the first attempt to create a literary canon of the most significant poems down the ages. The book contains poems by authors including Jovan Jovanović Zmaj, Laza Kostić, Petar I Petrović-Njegoš, Vojislav Ilić, Jovan Grčić Milenko, Aleksa Šantić, Jovan Dučić, Milan Rakić, Sima Pandurović and Veljko Petrović.[2] The book has undergone several editions, including translations into Slovene in 1965.[1] In 2011, Srpska književna zadruga, a member of the Board for Standardization of the Serbian Language, published the 100th anniversary edition.[3]
