Kukuljević as biographer and historian of Croatian literature
Ivan Pederin
; Šperun 2, Split, Hrvatska
Sažetak
Ivan Kukuljevic Sakcinski was educated in Vienna, being an officer of the Royal Hungarian Noblemen Guard set up by the Empress Maria Theresia. The officers were trained in military skills, but they also attended lessons in history, literature and geographics. He was admitted in this particular military unit by Count Janko Draskovic,
the most distinguished aristocrat of Croatia and a personal friend by the Emperor Francis I. Kukuljevic was a low ranking nobleman as well. In Illyrism Kukuljević acted as assistant to Drašković, who headed a group of aristocrats in the Parliament. The Parliament was a traditional, not a democratic one. The Parliament struggled for the jura municipalia, not for constitutionalism, freedom of the press and free elections as the liberals did. This was the starting point for his
vast body of research. In his research and publications Kukuljević created Croatia as a modern nation.
