Anonimna poezija u srpskoj književnosti 18. veka
Anonymous Poetry in Serbian Literature of the 18th Century

Summary/Abstract: This paper approaches the theme of oblivion through the problem of unknown authorship in Serbian literature of the 18th century. Along with poetry published by known authors, printed publications or manuscripts preserve an extensive corpus of poems recorded and published by anonymous authors. Majority of such poems belongs to the corpus of socalled civic poetry – a special typological whole. For some poetic records, it is not possible to state with certainty who the author is. However, there are some assumptions based primarily on verses in Hristifor Žefarović’s Stematography (1741) and also on the emblematic collection, Itika Jeropolitika (1774), where emblems are accompanied by some anonymous verses. By proposing the typology of anonymous poetry, our goal is to define the problem and to determine possible poetic characteristics.
