Summary/Abstract: In this paper the author deals with the place, role, significance and contribution of Stefan Mitrov Ljubiša to Montenegrin literary and cultural development in the second half of the 19th century. The aim of this paper is, on the basis of archive material and relevant literature, to respond to the following research questions: In what sort of social and political context did Stefan Ljubiša operate? What was Ljubiša’s activity up until he entered politics, and what was it after then? What was his role and place in the historical development of language and literature, and culture in general, as well as his connection to the Montenegrin people, history, tradition and culture? The answers to these questions should reveal new details, give a contribution to understanding of the complex socio-political, cultural-historical relations and the activity of Stefan Mitrov Ljubiša in the 19th century. His ambiguous work, by its complex structure, the universality of its themes, the complexity of its form and the semantic layering of the language, even today raises essential questions of humanity and the world, induce reflection and diverse interpretations. All these are reasons for his relevance in the past, present and future, but also for his uniqueness, not only in Montenegrin, but also in South Slavic, art and literature, as well as in political and cultural history.
