Gorski Vijenac: The Mountain Wreath

The Mountain Wreath is a heroic poem in the form of folk drama by Petar II Petrovic Njegos. It was written at the high of the Serbian romantic movement and is now considered to be the Serbian national epic. Njegos manages to weave all of Montenegrin history into this exquisite work. It is a modern epic written in verse as a play, thus combining three of the major modes of literary expression.
