Medo Pucic
Medo Pucić (born March 12, 1821 in Dubrovnik (old German: Ragusa ), Dalmatia ; † March 30, 1882 ibid) was a writer and politician. His brother was Niko Pucić .
Life
Pucić came from an old Ragusan patrician family , attended the Lyceum in Venice, met Jan Kollár there in 1841 , became a supporter of his all-Slavic ideas and supported the Illyrian movement . From 1841 to 1843 he studied at the University of Padua and from 1843 to 1845 in Vienna, where he completed his law degree.
From 1846 to 1849 he lived at the courts of Lucca and Parma , then mostly in Dubrovnik. Pucić was in close contact with cultural and political circles in banal Croatia , the rest of the monarchy and various European countries. After the renewal of political life in the Austro-Hungarian monarchy in 1860, he participated in the national movement in Dalmatia and in political events in banal Croatia.
In the 1870s he resided permanently in Dubrovnik and played an important role in the city's cultural life. In the Slavic and South Slavic ideas represented by Pucić , the principles of the Slavic national movement of his time, especially the Croatians, merged with the Slavic tradition of Dubrovnik. The traditional particularism of Dubrovnik, which was reluctant to fit into the Croatian movement without reservation, combined with the linguistic views of its time, led him to believe that Dubrovnik and the entire area of the štokavian dialect belonged to the Serbian nationality. In the Principality of Serbia he saw the liberator of the southern Slavs from Ottoman rule.
Pucić wrote lyrical and epic poems, patriotic poetry, political essays and historical studies. The preferred motif in his work was the past of Dubrovnik. He translated literary works from several European languages into Croatian and Italian.
