Antologija slovenske poezije
Zlobec's Anthology of Slovenian Poetry traces the development of Slovenian lyric poetry from Vodnik and Prešeren to the poets of the 1970s, through key poetics and generations, on more than 300 pages.
Anthology of Slovenian Poetry by Ciril Zlobec is a comprehensive and representative overview of the Slovenian lyrical tradition, encompassing poets from Valentin Vodnik and France Prešeren, through realists, romantics and modernists, to interwar authors, poets of the National Liberation Front and contemporary poetic voices of the 1970s. The book is conceived as a broad literary-historical cross-section in which the development of Slovenian poetic language, themes and stylistic procedures can be followed over almost two centuries.
The selection alternates between Enlightenment and Romantic tones, realistic and modern poetics, social and historical experiences of the interwar period, war and partisan lyrics, and post-war and contemporary expressions that raise intimate, existential and linguistic questions. Zlobec does not design the anthology simply as a collection of well-known poems, but as an overview of the continuity and changes of Slovenian poetry, from the national-formative and cultural role of older authors to the modern, internally complex poetic voices of the second half of the 20th century. The anthology is therefore valuable both as a reader's choice and as a reliable introduction to the entirety of Slovenian poetic heritage.
