Dreaming in Kajkavian: The Limits of Jakob Lovrenčić‘s Literary Oeuvre
Bojana Schubert
Abstract
The paper presents the literary-linguistic oeuvre of Jakob Lovrenčić, a Croatian Kajkavian translator and writer who lived and worked in Varaždin in the pre-revival and revival period, and is considered one of the last authors that published their works in Kajkavian literary language. Based on archive research, Lovrenčić’s biographical and bibliographical data previously established in the literature are re-examined and corrected, his authorship of certain titles is disproved and/or confirmed, and in the analysis, additional attention is given to two less known and poorly explored works – a lottery dream book from 1838, possibly based on a foreign template, and the other, linguistically transformed edition of Petrica Kerempuh, published posthumously (1849). The paper aims to contribute to a more complete image of Lovrenčić’s oeuvre.
