Sažetak

A new narrative political style developed within revival movements during the 19th century, which differed from preceding complex philosophical and theoretical tractates. A political style based on emotions, rather than rationality as was the case before, came to the fore. This is a style of mythographic suggestion, symbols, stories and allegories. Literary text plot analysis (poetry, tragedies, novels, theater plays, libretti intended for operas) shows the frequent incidence of certain symbols and narrative figures used to create strong allegiance to new patriotic ideas. An analysis of three Mirko Bogović’s dramatic pieces: Frankopan (1856), Stjepan, posljednji bosanski kralj (Stephen, the Last King of Bosnia) (1858) and Matija Gubec, kralj seljački (Matija Gubec, the Peasant King) (1859) is presented in the paper. Bogović introduces ideals and values connected to national community representation into these dramatic pieces bringing them about in an especially acceptable way due to the storyline and historical ambient in which he places them. Thus, it can be concluded that Bogović, together with other Croatian and European intellectuals of that period, found a way to polemically follow the destiny of his own country and express his attitude towards Croatian social and political issues of that time by choosing a historical subject matter for the backdrop of his pieces.
