VJERA STEVOVICH VUKCEVICH 25 August 1940 – 13 January 2014 INTRODUCTION HE ESSAYS IN Croatia 4: Baron Kulmer, Ban Jelacic, General T Nugent, Colonel Nugent, Dorfweiser Ante, Rex Quadroni, Bishop Strossmayer attempt to establish a broad, deep and penetrating context for factually and fairly analyzing, understanding and measuring the role of institutions and individuals in the 19th century Croat Revival generally and the roles of Ludwig von Gaj, General Laval Nugent and Colonel Albert Nugent particularly. The author believes that a fair reading of the facts requires a reinterpretation of the 19th century Croat Revival based on the pivotal roles played by Ludwig von Gaj, General Laval Nugent and Colonel Albert Nugent. The author also believes that 1) a fair reading of the record establishes the role of General Laval Nugent as a real and equitable way to measure the roles played by his Croat peers, and 2) the Laval Nugent measure requires a radical devaluation of Ante ‘Vlah’ Starcevic, Eugenio ‘Rex’ Quadroni-Kvaternik and other self-styled 19th century Croat leaders. If, for example, one compares ‘pater patria’ Ante ‘Vlah’ Starcevic with General Laval Nugent in terms of intelligence, knowledge, wisdom, judgment, integrity, honor, decency, manliness and martial spirit, the two are so different that it is hard to believe they belong to the same species or occupy the same planet. As C.A. Macartney’s “crack-brained, exalte, lunatic, super-fanatical Catholic”, characterization of Eugenio ‘Rex’ Quadroni-Kvaternik is obviously a polite understatement, it is safe to say that ‘Rex’ is far below comparison with either Nugent on the one side or any disreputable political figure outside Croatia at the other extreme. The same can be said about Starecevic’s successor of sorts, Josip Frank, the Liberal Godfather of modern Serbicides. Part One introduces the reader to basic issues relating to 1) Ludwig von Gaj’s role in the Croat Revival and 2) Croatia’s role in Croatia’s history. Part Two reviews the role of Austrian institutions and officials in the Croat Revival. Part Three introduces the reader to General Laval 13 Nugent and Colonel Albert Nugent. Part Four examines the positive and negative roles played by the Church in the Illyrian Movement. Part Five discusses the basic issues and challenges raised by the Hungarian Revolution of 1848. Part Six calls attention to 1) the role played by General Josip Neustadter in victories over Croat resistance to Ban Jelacic in Croatia and Slavonia, and 2) the extraordinary role played by patriotic Serbs in Croatia and Slavonia. Part Seven reviews Baron Franz Kulmer’s reactionary ideals and his supreme control of Croatia’s policies under Ban Josip Jelacic. Part Eight examines basic issues relating to Ban Jelacic’s personality, character, competence and national identities. Part Nine reviews 1) Ban Jelacic’s role in the war with Hungary and 2) and General Nugent’s role in the validation of Illyrian and Yugoslav values in Croatia and Slavonia. Part Ten deals with Jelacic’s banship in terms of 1) personality, mental health and policy issues, and 2) the exceptional role played by Serbs in defense of Croatia and Slavonia and their robust advocacy of basic social, economic and political reforms. Part Eleven provides a documentary basis for the national and social character of Lika. Part Twelve reviews national identity issues relating to the Bunjevci. Part Thirteen examines Ante ‘Vlah’ Starcevic’s politics of hatred and his relations with the infamous Josip Frank. Part Fourteen reviews Starcevic’s relations with his followers and measures his Likan identity by comparing him with Likan Bude Budisavljevic Prijedorski. Part Fifteen examines the bizarre life and pathetic times of “crack-brained, exalte, lunatic, super-fanatical Catholic” Eugenio “Rex” Quadroni. Part Sixteen examines the psychological and political dynamics of pater patria Starcevic’s relations with Bishop Strossmayer, the first son of the nation.
