Characteristics


In the context of modernism, the poetry collection is still regarded today as a cult, provocative phenomenon that brought about a significant breakthrough in the mindset of a society brought up in a puritanical, strictly patriarchal spirit and subject to forcibly imposed restrictions on the expression of emotions. The very title itself sets the stage for a sense of anticipation regarding an aesthetic that was different, unusual, and had hitherto been rejected and condemned – one that stylises arousal, sensuality and a candid, emotional dialogue of love.
  1. Poetry

Ivan Cankar

Ivan Cankar (1876–1918) – a poet, novelist and playwright, regarded as the greatest author to have written in the Slovenian language. One of the four leading figures of modernism, alongside Dragotin Kete, Oton Župančič and Josip Murn. He made his debut with the poetry collection Erotica (1899), which met with an unfortunate fate. Immediately after its publication, the Bishop of Ljubljana, Anton Bonaventura Jeglič, bought up the majority of the unsold copies and publicly burnt them. This act caused a scandal and heightened interest in the book. In 1902, Cankar substantially revised the content and produced a new edition. He subsequently abandoned poetry and wrote mainly prose and plays. He is the author of seven plays: Romantic Souls, Jakob Ruda, For the Good of the People, The King of Betainovo, Corruption in the Valley of St Florian, Servants and The Beautiful Vida, of which only The King of Betainovo was ever staged in Bulgaria, way back in 1948. His best-known prose works include the novel The House of Mary Help of Christians, the novellas Mrs Judith and The Servant Jerney and His Justice, and the collection of short fragments Images from Dreams.
