Abstract
Sveta Rožalija, panormitanska divica by Antun Kanižlić, published in Vienna in 1780, is one of the best-known works of Croatian literature of the 18th century in Slavonia. The first part of this paper explores the reception of this work in chronological order. After analysing the first critical writings from the second half of the 19th century, mainly published in Catholic-oriented newspapers, this paper will focus on the reception of Sveta Rožalija in the 20th century. The thesis first examines how the work was received among authors at the beginning of the 20th century (Tomić, Prohaska, Vodnik, Fancev), then around the midcentury (Kombol, Matić), and finally, it focuses on the reception of the work in the second half of the 20th century (Georgijević, Belić, Peić, Jelčić). Since 1990, after the Republic of Croatia had gained independence, there has been a growing interest in the research related to older Croatian literary works – and consequently to Sveta Rožalija too, mainly as a part of Croatian Baroque literature (Kravar, Pavličić, Fališevac, Tatarin). At the beginning of the 21st century, there are several female authors studying this work (Pšihistal, Marković, Šundalić) who are either discovering new aspects to it or analysing the work of some of the earlier theorists (Crnjac).
