The subject of the thesis are four Marian dogmas in the light of their representation in Croatian poetry. Apart from appearing in classical lyrical poems, they are also found in other different poetic types and forms. The aim of the thesis is to discover which Marian dogmas inspired Croatian poets, in other words, which of them were more and which were less poetically inspiring. The thesis primarily presents basic contents of Marian church dogmas: on Mary Mother of God, perpetual virgin, immaculately conceived and assumed body and soul into heaven. The central parts of the thesis are dedicated to the interpretation of selected poems by Croatian poets inspired by different Marian dogmas, closely linked to the dogma by the topic and motif. The interpretation of poems permeates literary theory and theological analysis. At the beginning, Marian poems were transmitted via folk piety, and later on started developing in the direction of traditional-folk and literary-artistic creation. The research verifies the fact that mariological contents are permanently represented in general Croatian poetry. Observing four Marian dogmas, it is apparent that dogma of Mary Mother of God is the most common, and the least common one is the dogma of her Soul and Body Assumption into Heaven.
