Sažetak
Although the focus is put on authors writing in two different centuries, Bajamonti in the 18th, and Stulli in the 19th , their literary works, preserved mainly in manuscript, reveal a similar merger of Neoclassical Aestheticism and the Enlightenment world view. The poetry of both authors is rooted in the Neoclassical canon and the ideal of the union of truth, morality and beauty, both in content and in form. Only very rarely in some Bajamonti`s works one can discern an allusion to romantic motives and atmosphere. The majority of the Neoclassical elements in Bajamonti`s poetry is found in his occasional poetry, while in poetry of Luko Stulli a strong and pervasive influence of the work of his Italian contemporaries Vincenzo Monti, Ippolito Pindemonte and Antonio Cesari is felt. The Enlightenment world view emanates from Bajamonti`s numerous writings, mostly his lectures given before the Economic Society of Split, his encyclopedic projects and his historical text Memorie della città di Spalato. Similar traits are exhibited in Stulli`s writings on medicine, which are, without exception, on a par with the European achievements of that period. Furthermore, they are visible in his essays on the theory of economy and the history of Dubrovnik, as well as his comedy in five acts Eugenia e Riccardo. The characters of this comedy bear more resemblance to the characters from Voltaire`s short stories than to the ones typically found in the comedy of character, therefore the true value of the comedy lies foremostly on the plan of ideas. The breakthrough of modernist and libertarian ideas is most visible in the altered perception of the concept of marriage and love. While older Dubrovnik comediographers strictly separated love from marriage, Stulli, in a clearly articulated manner, unites the two concepts. Stulli`s Enlightenment thinking emerges strongly in his depictions of the traditional class relations, which, in comparison to Dubrovnik`s Renaissance comediography, are perceived in a more flexible manner, and presented with the help of certain stylistic choices.
