Abstract
This article examines the first serious conflict between Slovenian poetry and the imperial authorities in the early 19th century using the example of two “Illyrian” odes by Valentin Vodnik. His “Ilirija Revived”, which was published during the French rule, brought serious problems for Vodnik after the restoration of Habsburg power in Carniola as he was accused of “Francophilia”. Following the Emperor’s decision, he was forced to retire and his poem remained banned for several decades. The present article outlines the dynamics of Vodnik’s relationship with the authorities and explains in more detail how and why he was subjected to political censorship.Razprava obravnava prvi resen konflikt med slovensko poezijo in cesarsko oblastjo v zgodnjem 19. stoletju na primeru Valentina Vodnika in njegovih »ilirskih« od. Ilirija oživljena, objavljena v času francoske vladavine, je pesniku po restavraciji habsburške oblasti na Kranjskem zaradi obtožb o »frankofiliji« nakopala hude nevšečnosti. Po sklepu cesarja se je moral prisilno upokojiti, pesem pa je več desetletij ostala prepovedana. Članek prikaže dinamiko Vodnikovega odnosa do političnih oblasti in podrobneje pojasni, kako in zakaj je bil ravno ta pesnik deležen politične cenzure
