Antun Gustav Matoš's 'Poetics'

This work analyzes the viewpoints in relation to the creative works of Antun Gustav Matoš. The author of the paper concludes that the poetics in Matoš's works are linked to his personal experiences in life and in literature. Matoš is not a literary theoretician in the usual sense, precisely because his theory arises from his own experience, which - when applied adequately - is convincing, artistically convincing, acknowledged and justified by life itself, thus the lucidity of the ideas that Matoš forms and exposes, seem to outgrow him and his work, becoming a universal possession that remains independent, therefore indeed - poetics.
