This thesis explores the level of knowledge about Dubrovnik’s literature from the Renaissance and Baroque periods among the citizens of Dubrovnik. The aim was to determine how well Dubrovnik residents are familiar with local writers and their works, and how aware they are of the cultural heritage that has shaped their city's identity. The research was conducted through surveys among citizens of all age groups, utilizing social media, mobile applications, and emails to collect data. The main thesis is that Dubrovnik residents possess significant knowledge of their city's literary heritage. The auxiliary hypotheses include: H1: "Students and high schoolers have a better knowledge of Dubrovnik’s literary heritage compared to other age groups" and H2: "Dubrovnik residents are significantly familiar with Dubrovnik’s writers and their works." Methodologically, the study employs quantitative methods for analyzing survey results and qualitative approaches through a review of relevant literature. Key sources for the research include the works of Slobodan Prosperov Novak, whose book Povijest hrvatske književnosti (2003) provides a deep understanding of Croatian literary heritage, and Robin Harris's Dubrovnik: A History (2006), which offers contextual insight into Dubrovnik’s history. Articles from Leksikon Marina Držića (2009) were also analyzed, along with relevant works such as Hrvoje Ivanković’s Držić na igrama and Katija Bakija’s Marin Držić u zrcalu našeg vremena. The research results reveal variations in the knowledge of Dubrovnik’s literature among different demographic groups. While students and high schoolers demonstrated better familiarity with literary works from the Renaissance and Baroque periods, older groups were less informed about the details and contexts of these literary works. It was also observed that Dubrovnik residents have a basic knowledge of well-known writers but less awareness of specific works and their historical contexts. These findings provide insight into the cultural awareness of Dubrovnik’s residents and highlight the need for additional educational programs and promotional activities that could enhance the understanding and appreciation of Dubrovnik’s literary heritage. The study contributes to a better understanding of how Renaissance and Baroque literature influences the cultural identity of the city and offers guidance for future research and educational initiatives.
