Summary/Abstract: Starting from the relation between the public and the private in two dramas by Nikša Gradi ― Kosovka djevojka and Djevojka sprаvljеnica or Sve na staru, the paper examines the extent to which these works contribute to a better understanding of the conditions in Dubrovnik of Gradi’s time and the extent to which they bring novelty in literary creation. It is shown that Nikša Gradi, in these works, represents conservative ideas of preserving the traditions and customs of the old nobility of Dubrovnik, relying heavily on the motives and the ideas of Ivan Gundulić represented in his own works.
