Abstract

Paula von Preradović, the author of the Austrian national anthem, became known early on as the poet of the Istrian and Dalmatian coastal landscapes and as mediator between cultures - with her first volumes of poetry "Südlicher Sommer" (1929) and "Dalmatinische Sonnette" (1933). In a unique way, her oeuvre shows the wide range and complexity of the way in which the sea is inscribed into literature and which functions are attributable to it; among other things, the
sea becomes an object of yearning and homesickness, an inspiration for writing, a remedy, a symbol of forlorness, but also of the basis of contemporary historical statements.
