Stritar's Historicist Text and the Modern Movement
Slovenski sinopsis
English synopsis
English summary
In the centre of the interest is Stritar's highly historicist language in his novel Zorin (first published in 1870, reprinted in 1887). Stritar's historicism was not original, but one modelled on earlier authors, especially on Schiller. This was a very widespread procedure in the German language territory in the 19th century, characterized by typical classicist textual (dispositional) patterns (especially a diaeretic argumentative form with an antithesis conclusion), abundant rhethoric ornamentation, periphrases, various secondary structures (e.g. diatheses), which all contribute to an overall effect of classicist elevated nonnatural expression.
The stylistic procedure (which in many ways resembles that of Gregorčič) found an echo, considerable transformed, among Slovene authors of the Slovene Modern movement. The study demonstrates the functional exploitation of certain elements of this approach in Župančič's Duma. This finding additionally supports the claim that a new, functional poetics of the Modern movement came into being gradually, making a creative use and transformation of various historicist elements and procedures. (Interestingly enough, parallels can be found in contemporary phenomena in arts, especially in architecture, both in Slovenia and elsewhere.)
