ENTGEGEN DEM 300. JAHRESTAG DER GEBURT DES SENJERS ANTUN MATEŠA KUHAČEVIĆ (Senj 1697 - Zagreb 1772)

Lik Senjanina Mateše Antuna Kuhačevića predočuje svojom tragikom i sudbinu hrvatskoga naroda i njegovu borbu za slobodu, koja je bila povezana progonima i uhićenjima, krvlju i nevoljama. Autorica ovoga članka obrađuje život Mateše Antuna Kuhačevića i analizira njegove pjesme, koje je objavio Mile Magdić u knjizi Život i djela Mateše Antuna Kuhačevića godine 1878. Ona navodi mišljenje hrvatske književne kritike i hrvatskih književnih povjesničara i ustvrđuje da ovaj pjesnik, unatoč nespretnostima u jednome dijelu svojih stihova, ipak pokazuje određenu nadarenost. Ona misli da hrvatska kritika zbog toga stoji pred zadaćom ponovnog preispitivanja njegova djela.Mateša Antun Kuhačević, by his own tragedy, expresses the fate of the whole people of Croatia and their struggle for freedom, which was linked with persecutions and prisons, blood and poverty.
