The study is an attempt to write a view of Francisci´s poetry compiled in the collection Iskry zo zaviatej pahreby /Sparks of the Overlaid Embers/, against the background of Štúr´s ideas of Slavic poetry formulated in Prednášky o poézii slovanskej /Lectures on Slavic Poetry/ and his essay O národných povestiach a piesňach plemien slovanských /On National Myths and Songs of Slavic Nations/. In addition to that, some of the characteristic features of Francisci´s poems are confronted with the similar features present in the poetry of other Romantic poets. The analysis of Francisci´s poems and their confrontation with Štúr´s ideas as well as the list of conventional means of expression used in the poetry of the particular period make the author of the study conclude that in spite of fulfilling Štúr´s requirements and following the fast-spreading conventions, Francisci´s works also contain strictly individual layers which incline towards what was officially rejected – individual feelings, personal sadness, sentiment, being in love, Romantic contempt for the world and some elements of Messianist nature.
