Sažetak
The study deals with a bilingual work by Ana Vidović (1800 - 1879) and the reception of that opus in Croatia and Italy. The author’s thesis is that an epic poem Anka i Stanko written by that poetess makes a significant contribution to Croatian literature at the time of its revival during the 1840-ies and that it belongs side by side with such literary events as Đulabije by Stanko Vraz, Dimitrija Demeter’s Grobničko polje, Pogled u Bosnu by Matija Mažuranić, Antun Nemčić’s Putositnice, Smrt Smail-age Čengića by Ivan Mažuranić and Preradović’s Prvenci. The paper also evaluates her completely neglected epic Bezmišljenja u ljubav as a valuable literary accomplishement in which, before Luka Botić, love between two young non-coreligionists (a Muslim girl and a Christian boy) is poetized. As far as a failed epic Romolo is concerned, the author of the study has corrected some inaccurate information stated in literature about it (type of verse and stanzas) and has for the first time translated into Croatian some characteristic fragments. He has also translated Ana Vidović’s autobiography, which served as a preface to Romolo. The paper establishes that the poetess was an important literary link between Southern Croatia and Zagreb, that in her poems she propagated “patriotic” ideas and that she was an enthusiastic defender of the unification of Dalmatia and its mother country - as opposed to N. Tommaseo, also from Šibenik. Italian on her father’s side, Croatian on her mother’s side and married to a Croat (count Marko Antun Vidović), she equally loved both the homeland of her father and the homeland of her mother, considering Croatia as her native country. Taking into account her profile and talent, Ana Vidović was, together with Dragojla Jarnević, the most important lady in the period of Croatian Romanticism.
