ZLATA DEROSSI
Abstract
About the life and works of this great man of the Croatian past, who has been alive even now by his ideas and who subdues by his frank patriotism, his spite and his consistency, has been and is as yet written very much with quite a lot of details and analysis on his role in the Croatian culture, literary and historical life. It has especially
been writing down now, in freedom, when one may quietly approach his courageous ideas on the right to autonomous state and life without tutors and bosses. However, his work on poetry has remained somehow overshadowed by his political debates, articles and esseys. Il has specially been insufficiently elucidated his work on versed satire. That is why the author is making efforts in this work to elucidate also that part of Starčević's rich creative work, to find for his poems some place in the Croatian poetry of his time and to decide
by personnal judgement the meaning of Starčević as poet for our present-day cultural and literary moment.
