Abstract
Senjska gimnazija-a wel known classics-program secondary school at Senj (in modern usage the word »gimanzija« means a secondary school with a classical curriculum)-has given a very important contribution to Croatian and Yugoslav literature and culture, especially
as an inspirational and effective factor in developing the cultural identity of the city of Senj and the surrounding countryside, first of all a part of the Croatian Littoral and the Lika region. Not a few of its teachers and pupils established a name for themselves in different
areas of political, social and cultural life during the long struggle of the Croatian people to win its national freedom and defend its existence. This came into prominence particularly in literature and other areas of the written word, beginning with glagolitic
priests and Pavao Ritter Vitezovic to the rebellious and independent poetry of one of the greatest Croatian poets Silvije Strahimir Kranjčević as well as other distinguished Croatian
writers born at Senj, and those protagonists of the written word who in the new situation acted also in a more finite period of time.
