ZLATA DEROSSI
Abstract
Mateša Antun Kuhačević, by his own tragedy, expresses the fate of the whole people of Croatia and their struggle for freedom, which was linked with persecutions and prisons, blood and poverty.
This article deals with the life of Mateša Antun Kuhačević and with the analysis of his poems, which were written during his imprisonments and were published in the book of Mile Magdić The Life and Works of the Noble Mateša Antun Kuhačević, Croatian Poet from Senj 18th
Century. There is also a retrospection of Croatian critics'views. It is being asserted that this poet, in spite of some awkwardness in one part of his poetry, he did after all succeed to give at times a warm poetic expression to his feelings and showed some talents. In view of the above, Croatian critics should take under reconsideration his place in the Croatian literature and his importance in the Croatian culture.
