Sažetak
Early contacts between the English and the Croats in and from Dalmatia (which can be traced to the 12th century) resulted in interest in the English language in the towns of the Dalmatian coast.In the second half of the 18th century, in Dubrovnik, English was spoken, read and used as a means of written communication among some educated people.At the same time, in Split, there were attempts at writing a text book for learning English.The first translations of Shakespeare's works from the original into Croatian were done in Dalmatia(King Lear, Hamlet), translations of, and articles on, the works of British authors occasionally appeard in Dalmatian periodicals, along with reviews of perfomances of plays.There were instances of lexicographic works(a dictionary of maritime terminology), and also articles on the English legal system and some aspects of cultural life in Great Britain.
