Summary/Abstract: The author tends to show the presence and development of classicist elements in the poetry of Jovan Hristić, who is one of the most important Serbian poets in the second half of the 20th century. After the basic characteristics of classicist poetry have been defined, using the attitudes of Rene Velek, Paul Valery and Milorad Pavić, we can follow the development and forming classicist petics in Hristić’s poetry. We can follow it from the 1st collection of poems Diary about Ulissys through Poems of 1952- 1956 up to The Alexandrian school in which this poetics was fully expressed. One of the goals of this essay is to find and present the ability to transform in Hristić’s poetical opus. Therefore, the author follows Hristić’s poetry in all of its phases: early, mature- classicist and late. The primary goal remains to find the classicist elements in these phases, they are followed on the levels of theme, poetic action and poetic forms. The author has also made an effort to present the relationship between Hristić’s poetry and Serbian literary tradition in which the classicist line takes a very important place.
