Summary/Abstract: This paper analyzes Poems of Dubrovnik, the poetic cycle written by Jovan Dučić. We examine the problem of genre in individual poems of this poetic cycle, as well as Dubrovnik’s social community, which is simultaneously aristocratically sublime and festively ordinary. Poems are interlinked with the common motif of Dubrovnik, but there are also motifs such as love, death, female beauty, sadness for the transience of youth, and festive atmosphere of balls and carnivals. We emphasise the narration and rich fabula as important qualities that helped Jovan Dučić to show different situations or characteristics of Dubrovnik’s community in his poems. The main goal of this paper is to collect all the excerpts that can be found in poems and to reveal the whole portrait of the baroque Dubrovnik.
