Mateša Antun Kuhačević

[2] Following the Brinje-Lika revolt of 1746, he was sentenced to life imprisonment due to suspicion of helping to instigate the rebellion.

He wrote a text titled Synoptica informatio circa vetus et novum regulamentum generalatus Carlostadiensis, which argued in favor of civil rule in his hometown of Senj.

He wrote nearly all of his literary opus during his time in prison, and likely turned to this activity in order to continue influencing policies towards Senj.

A satire, titled Vile slovinkinje s mladežom jednoga neimenovanoga grada u meritu prot vladiki cich oskvernjene Vire uzdignuta zuluma is also attributed to him.

He was influenced both by domestic literature such as Odiljenje sigetsko by Pavao Ritter Vitezović and by war poetry during his stay in Austria.
