Extract

Interest among the Slovenes in English literature dates back to the Age of Enlightenment (1765–1810). During this period the Jansenist and biblical scholar Jurij Japelj (1744–1807) chose Alexander Pope's moralistic-didactic poetry for translation. Later, we find J. N. Primic (1785-1823), a Graz professor, publishing in 1812 a translation of Franklin's Poor Richard's Almanac. Both of these used German texts.

22 Ivan Prijatelj in his introduction to the third volume of the Collected Works of Jurčič (Josip Jurčič: Zbrani spisi, Ljubljana, 1922), on pages ix to xxxii, goes to great lengths to prove that Jurčič was not a mere imitator but an original Slovene author whoseDeseti bratshows only “reminiscences” of Scott.

26 The first Slovene critic to point clearly to this similarity in plot between Jurčič's and Scott's novels was Dragan Šanda. See his article “Jurčič-Scott,” Dom in Svet, 1905, pp. 76-83.

29 Professor Francè Kidrič's introduction to this edition of Deseti brat is the best summary of this whole question of imitation.
