Abstract

Next to my Door the Death is waiting. Longing for Love. Longing for Death. Vida Jeraj – Slovenian decadent Poetess The topics of the article are the decadent tendencies in the poetry and life of the first Slovenian female lyricist Vida Jeraj (Franica Vovk, 1875–1932) who was a vital part of the Slovenian modernist network ("Slovenian moderna") in Bled (Zasip) and Vienna. She began to write in the context of transformation in Central European cultures which ended with the collapse of the former joint State. Jeraj belonged to the generation of young cosmopolitan women writers who broke through in in the Fin-de-Siècle period in Slovene society, at that time the periphery of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. In her literary work we analyse poems expressing motives of death.V razpravi se tematizirajo dekadentne tendence v poeziji in življenju prve slovenske pesnice intime Vide Jeraj (Franice Vovk, 1875–1932). Lirična pesnica je bila vitalni element slovenske moderne tako na Bledu (Zasipu) kot na Dunaju. Začela je pisati v kontekstu sprememb v srednjeevropskih kulturah, ki so se zaključile na koncu prve svetovne vojne z razpadom skupne države. Pripadala je generaciji kozmopolitskih avtoric, ki se je uveljavila v obdobju fin-de-siècla v slovenski kulturi, v tem času na periferiji avstro-ogrskega imperija. V njenem literarnemopusu nas zanimajo pesmi o smrti
