EROTIC ASPECTS OF SERBIAN CIVIC POETRY AND DUBROVNIK POETRY

Abstract

This paper presents the results of a comparative analysis of selected poetic achievements of Dubrovnik Renaissance and Baroque poets and authors who created Serbian civic poetry during the 18th and early 19th centuries. Certain poetic correspondences that are noticeable between Serbian civic poetry and Dubrovnik literature are pointed out. In the initial phase of this research task, special attention was paid to the interpretation of intertextual connections between popular Renaissance and Baroque poetry of different types: carnival poetry, love poetry, Petrarchist lyrics and satirical poetry and positions written in various civic songbooks, which have not been the subject of comparative reading. This approach to literary-historical material enabled a more precise identification of insufficiently studied genre, poetic and thematic lines of contact between the representative segments of the poet's creative opus from the 16th to the beginning of the 19th century.
