The Mountain Wreath (Serbian: Горски вијенац / Gorski vijenac)[1] is a poem and a play written by Prince-Bishop and poet Petar II Petrović-Njegoš.
Njegoš wrote The Mountain Wreath during 1846 in Cetinje and published it the following year after the printing in an Armenian monastery in Vienna. It is a modern epic written in verse as a play, thus combining three of the major modes of literary expression. It is considered a masterpiece of Serbian and Montenegrin literature.[2][3][4][5]
