Sažetak
This paper is focusing on the use of motifs from Croatian early
medieval history in Nazor’s topical collection of poetry entitled Hrvatski
kraljevi (The Kings of the Croats). Hrvatski kraljevi functions perfectly
within its Zeitgeist, as Nazor’s way to re-create Croatian historical
memory and distribute it as ‘poetical knowledge’ to the readers. The
metaphor of blut und boden, strongly showing throughout this topical
collection of poetry, constructs and embodies continuity with the past,
and boosts the sense of national unity in Nazor’s present(s). For Nazor’s
generation of Croatians, medieval Croats were tremendously important
symbols used to draw and develop a Croatian historical ‘genealogy’ in
order to position the Croatians amongst European nations of the time.
