Abstract

The goal of this paper is to portray and explain the political path of the author, poet, and politician Mirko Bogović (1816 – 1893) based on existing literature and newspapers, taking into special consideration his path from being a "fiery" supporter of the Illyrian Movement to being a staunch Unionist after 1860. He then became a supporter of duality and stronger integration of Croatia within the Kingdom of Hungary, even supporting the diminishing of Croatia’s constitutional and financial framework in that community of unequals. There are nine letters pertaining to his literary and political work at the end of the paper from the national revival and neo-absolutist period. They are presented in the paper because they show his material situation, temperament and character, corresponding with the topic of this paper.
