Petar Preradović (19 March 1818 – 18 August 1872) was a Croatian poet, writer, and military general in the Austro-Hungarian Army. He was a part of the Illyrian movement which influenced much of his politics and work. Preradović enrolled at the Austrian military academy at Wiener Neustadt where he converted to Catholicism and went on to excel as one of the school's best students. At the academy, he began writing his first poems in German. After graduation he was stationed in Milan where he met Ivan Kukuljević Sakcinski, a fellow Austrian officer from Croatia, who inspired him to start writing in Croatian. After Milan, Preradović was posted to Zadar where his writings were published in the local Croatian language newspaper Zora dalmatinska in 1846.[4] He then went to Zagreb where he met the leading figures of the Illyrian movement. The champions of Illyrism, instrumental in securing the triumph of Vuk Stefanović Karadžić and Ljudevit Gaj, were Njegoš, Branko Radičević, Bogoboj Atanacković, Stjepan Mitrov Ljubiša, Stanko Vraz, Ivan Mažuranić, and Preradović. In 1847 he was again stationed in Italy where he took part in the Wars of Italian Unification.[4] When he returned to Croatia, he became a close associate of Josip Jelačić. He was posted to various Austrian military outposts and gradually rose to the rank of general.[4] Preradović's poetry was written under a strong influence of national romanticism, with strong Panslavist overtones. Due to a personal tragedy - his wife, Pave, had committed suicide - he became interested in spiritism in his later years and published articles about it. His life, torn between his military career, politics and literature, was also marked by gambling problems and bad health. He died in Fahrafeld, Austria at the age of 54, [4] and his resting place at the Mirogoj Cemetery in Zagreb. He had seven children. One of his grandchildren was Paula von Preradović, Austrian poet and the author of the Austrian national anthem.
