Abstract

Some historians of literature consider the initial stage of the Croatian literature of Western Hungary, namely the 16th and 17th centuries, to be a “dark age” since during that period no independent literary work could be found in the literature under discussion. This opinion is misleading as it dates the beginning of independent literary development to the early 18th century while there are some direct and numerous indirect indications that, based on the language and literary tradition of Croatia, literary process continues. This continuous development is interrupted only when it is affected by new social phenomena. From this time onwards (conventionally from the printing of a feast-days Gospel in 1735) one can speak about the Croatian literature of the West Hungarian region or, in modern terms, about Gradište literature. Certainly, its basis was created by the literary development of the so-called “dark” age.
