Summary/Abstract: This paper offers a research into the most significant poetic foundations of Đura Jakšić’s lyric poetry. It points out the fact that expressive romantic features and interconnectedness of the poet’s pieces of literature and life circumstances had played a determinative role in shaping Jakšić’s artistic world. In this respect, we single out the principle of individualism, which had been, in multiple ways, functionally modeled in his poetry. In addition, it had determined the theme-motif range of Jakšić’s poetry, as well as its other distinctive features, such as: elevated sensitivity, specific ambience, pronounced imagery, stylistic and linguistic idiosyncrasy.
