Josip Kosor (Croatian pronunciation: [jǒsip kǒsor]; 27 January 1879 – 23 January 1961) was a Croatian novelist, poet, and playwright. Starting as a novelist depicting peasant life in Dalmatia, Kosor "graduated into a naturalist dramatist of some power".[1] He was nominated for the Nobel Prize in Literature three times.[2]

His plays Passion's Furnace (1912), The Invincible Ship (1921), and Reconciliation (1923) were translated for performance in England.[3]
