Abstract

Matija Ban (1818-1903), from Dubrovnik (Ragusa), had been drama writer
and engaged intellectual. During his professional life he was strongly
attached to the Ottoman Empire and its tradition. As an exponent of the
Serbian policy and diplomacy, he had offered totally opposed solutions
for improvement of the position of the Serbian population living in the
Ottoman Empire: from active advocate of the overthrowing the sultan`s
power to the practice ideas regarding the possible reforms. His
literary work cannot be separated from his political activities and
national intentions. In his dramas with the topic taken from the Serbian
national history, to the Ottoman characters, especially to the sultans,
he had given the position of the very clever and tolerant people. That
was in harmony with the tradition of the Dubrovnik diplomacy, as well as
the new position of the newly born Serbian modern state.
