Abstract

This paper comprehensively considers and presents the influence that Ludovik Paskvalić had on the literary legacy of two prominent English poets. Previous scholars of his work have recognized the direct influence of his poetic lyre on the Elizabethan poet Thomas Lodge. Additionally, for years there has been persistent speculation in academia that Paskvalić may have had an indirect influence on the works of William Shakespeare. Based on these observations, we determined the direct influence of the poet from the Bay of Kotor on the work of Thomas Lodge using the comparative method. We have succeeded in proving only Shakespeare’s indisputable reliance on a post-Petrarchist manner, devoid of all individuality.
