Abstract

The paper gives a basic overview of major Kajkavian literary works written by authors who are natives from the Kajkavian area of Podravina, starting from Drnje near Koprivnica, to the Podravske Sesvete near Pitomača, while the southern border is Bilogora. Although there are more than 35 authors, mostly poets represented in anthologies, collections of Podravina lyrics, or in individually published books, this paper could not cover linguistic and other aspects of all the authors who wrote and belonged to the Podravina-based Kajkavian dialect group. By giving priority to the linguistic-geographic, dialectological criteria and the domicile-idiomatic linguistic choice of individual authors, the paper was aimed at giving a general overview and the majority of significant data on them and their works; all the more so because some of them have been unjustly forgotten. Therefore, this paper is not about the authors mostly written about in scientific and other works, i.e. poets and writers who used the urban Kajkavian idiom and/or the traditional-synthetic Kajkavian language type to create their works.
The period of Podravina's Kajkavian literature of the early 20th century to the present was covered, with special emphasis on the language in which it was written. Poetry and prose work created in this period can be divided into three basic types: works written in the author's Kajkavian local idiom, works written in traditional-type synthetic Kajkavian expression and Štokavian works that have Kajkavian interpolation.
