Dubrovnik intermedijalno: Između idile i pogibije

Ragusa, now Dubrovnik, is a unique city. The former Republic remained independent for over six centuries (between 1204 and 1808), during the period of dominance of Venice/Austria/Ottoman Empire. Although Shakespeare (1564–1616) wrote about Illyria (Ragusa) in the comedy Twelfth Night (1602, published in 1623), in the German-speaking world, the interest in Ragusa was aroused only in the 19th century. It was during the Napoleon’s rule (1769–1821) that the Republic of Ragusa was abolished by Napoleon’s emissary, Marshal Marmont (1774–1852) in 1808. In 1815, after the fall of Napoleon, at the Congress of Vienna, the Republic was passed to the Habsburg Monarchy and it remained the integral part of the Illyrian Province until the end of the First World War. From the beginning of the 19th century, the increased interest in the former Republic of Ragusa in German-speaking countries was noticed, reflected in literary circles, as well. While in the previous centuries it was described as an idyllic place, for example in Marin Držić’s (1508–1567), William Shakespeare’s or Ivan Gundulić’s (1589– 1638) works, the 19th century authors saw the former Republic as a place of catastrophe. The article focuses on two texts: on the short story Der Findling (1811) by Heinrich von Kleist (1777–1811) and on the drama Marino Caboga (1814) by Achim von Arnim (1781–1831).
