Abstract

The aim of the paper is to extract texts that point to the influence of Mažuranić’s work in shaping of Matoš’s prose. There will be interpretations of the novels in which Matoš creates characters according to Fran Mažuranić: Pereci, friški pereci..., Put u Ništa, Bura u tišini, in the context of Matoš’s contribution to the return of this writer to the mainstream of Croatian literature after a long silence. Some characters will be analyzed: Orlović and Marjanović in Putu u Ništa where Matoš in portraying the figures highlights the significance of Mažuranić’s work in Croatian literature, especially the influence on the prose in Croatian modernity, later emphasized by Croatian literary critics after the second edition of Lišće (Lišće i druga djela,, 1916). In this context, the criticisms and
texts which used Matoš’s novels for the reconstruction of Mažuranić’s life (Wenzelides and Benešić et al.) will be highlighted. On the other hand, some motivational incentives of Mažuranić - Matoš will be emphasized (eg. the dream motif in Mažuranić’s novel I o grm i o trn in the first Matoš’s publishing of Moć savjesti, and the elaboration of the theme of “old maid” in Mažuranić and Matoš’s feuilleton Usiđelica and others).
