Summary/Abstract: Among the most obviously visible aspects of François Villon, Arthur Rimbaud and OskarDavičo as not only poetic voices, but, in general, as persons in a cultural period, was theirrelationship towards artistic and political praxis, as well as towards literary language, form, andconsequently, more or less explicitly, towards the relationship between thought, consciousnessand language. Partaking directly in the social of their epochs, and merging their singularlyinnovative stylistic expression with their subversive political orientation in the midst of theseevents, the three poets form a sort of chronological axis of poetics. In this paper, throughcomparative analysis, we intend to, first and foremost, interpret the works of Oskar Davičoin light of the two earlier poets, as his historical forerunners or analogues. This is to be doneby means of three different aspects: the aforementioned matter of language, consciousness andform; then, the matter of the concept of the body and the physical; and finally, as the synthesisof the two former aspects, the matter of daily life as reflected in the poetry of these poets, andlikewise, the position of the lyrical subject, the self, in their opus.
