Sažetak
Epistles are texts of international import carrying out the transfer of ideas and themes. Ranging from various aspects of sociability to thematizing love in different generic models, Vitezović’s epistles are replete with tradition and convention while occasionally allowing for “spaces of freedom”. They contain information about quotidian life involving women and female addressees. Despite their relatively minor share in the context of his oeuvre, the qualitative features of female characters in Vitezović’s epistles are stimulating for an interdisciplinary study of the past referring to the issues of stylistic periods and the fashioning of subject and object, particularly as regards self-presentation and self-promotion. Depending on the manner of creating female characters in a particular literary form and its subtypes, this underwrites their representation, the forms of the presence of female identity and its implications as the object of utterance and as an addressee, to the way women were understood as a theme or symbol in European literatures with features of literary periods. Working in a highly conventional genre, from literary exercises to political maneuvers, the author casts women in different positions in terms of strategies of politeness and courtesy as highly literarized persons.
