Abstract
Mihovil Pavlinović, leader of the Croatian national revival in Dalmatia,
one of the prominent members of the Popular Party, is a politician who
became renowned by his holistic aspirations for implementation of the
“triune” Croatian state and national community, an enlightener and a
collector of popular lore, a writer who became the most important historical
notable in the second half of the 19th century. Populace and popular
opus represent a basic support and the most sincere inspiration in
his work, especially in the literary area. His perception of literature is
utilitarian, so the works he wrote are marked more with the ideologicalpolitical
characteristics and defined with revival goals than with literary-
artistic, esthetic value. However, regardless of the dominant number
of his works written in a functionally engaged mission, he wrote literary
texts such as speeches, itineraries, fragments of poems, and sometimes
complete poems, county storiettes and writings, which are not suffocated
with tendentiousness and as the expressions of creative spontaneity carry
higher literary characteristics as the permanent value.
