20.500.12556/DKUM-67585 An Image of a Horseman in Gothic Poetry Podoba jezdeca v gotski poeziji The paper analyses the image of a horseman in literary works during Romanticism with an emphasis on Gothic poetry. A horseman represents an important literary motif, which was used by numerous poets from the discussed period, although his depiction expands through the whole literary history. At the end of the eighteenth century, in times when the readers were particularly excited about Gothic literature and especially ballads, a horseman was being depicted by popular poets and writers of this genre, such as Matthew Lewis, Walter Scott and Robert Southey, and in the early years of nineteenth century, by the giants of Romanticism, such as Lord Byron and Mikhail Lermontov. The selection of numerous literary works of the aforementioned and other authors served as a recognition of patterns that were repeated in such works. The comparative analysis addresses the movement of a horseman, usually at high velocity, the relation between him and a particular literary genre, and literary devices that accompany the depiction of a horseman. Two literary works, Robert Southey’s Gothic ballad The Old Woman of Berkeley and Lermontov’s poem Demon, are analysed in detail. In both cases, particular parts of a literary work consist of a description of a rider and his horse, which follows the characteristics from previous works discussed in the paper. However, substantial deviations in the depiction of a horseman are present in both works as well. These differences, which influenced the manner in which a horseman is depicted, arose as a consequence of numerous factors, such as past life experiences, the influence of other poets and their literary works, religious and political convictions, and discrepancies in translations, namely in the poem Demon. The examples from the Southey’s ballad and Lermontov’s poem confirm such thinking. On the basis of numerous examples of the depiction of a horseman in the discussed period and reccurring patterns, it was possible to draw conclusions about the universal features of a horse, both its personality and physical characteristics, about the interpersonal relationship between a rider and his steed, about their relation based on the structural level and about the role of the context and its influence on the findings. Delo obravnava oris jezdeca v literarnih delih v obdobju romantike, s poudarkom na gotski poeziji. Jezdec predstavlja pomemben literarni motiv, ki so se ga poslužili številni pesniki iz obravnavanega obdobja, sicer pa se njegova upodobitev razteza praktično skozi vso literarno zgodovino. Ob koncu 18. stoletja, v času, ko so se bralci silno navduševali nad gotsko literaturo in baladami, so jezdeca upodabljali popularni pesniki in pisatelji te zvrsti, kot so Matthew Lewis, Walter Scott in Robert Southey, v zgodnjih letih 19. stoletja pa tudi velikani romantike, npr. lord Byron in Mihail Lermontov. Izbor številnih literarnih del omenjenih in tudi drugih avtorjev je služil za prepoznavanje vzorcev, ki so se ponavljali v takšnih delih. Primerjalna analiza se nanaša na gibanje jezdeca, navadno z veliko hitrostjo, povezavo med njim in posamezno literarno zvrstjo ter na literarna sredstva, ki se navezujejo na upodobitev jezdeca. Podrobneje sta obravnavani dve literarni deli, in sicer gotska balada Roberta Southeyja, The Old Woman of Berkeley, in Lermontova pesnitev Demon. V obeh primerih je v določenem delu opisan jezdec s konjem, ki sledi nekaterim omenjenim lastnostim preostalih del, vendar se pri obeh pesnikih pojavljajo tudi precejšnja odstopanja v njuni upodobitvi. Te razlike, ki so vplivale tudi na način upodobitve jezdeca, so nastale kot plod številnih dejavnikov, kot so npr. pretekle življenjske izkušnje, vpliv drugih pesnikov in njihovih literarnih del, verska in politična prepričanja, pri pesnitvi Demon pa tudi razlike v prevodu. Primera Southeyjeve balade in Lermontove pesnitve potrjujeta takšno mišljenje. Na podlagi številnih primerov upodobitve jezdeca v obravnavanem obdobju in ponavljajočih se vzorcev je bilo možno izpeljati zaključke o univerzalnih lastnostih konja, tako karakternih kot fizičnih, o medsebojnem odnosu med jezdecem in jahalnim konjem, o njuni medsebojni povezavi na podlagi strukturnega nivoja in o vlogi konteksta pri omenjenih ugotovitvah. horseman Gothic ballad Romantic literature Robert Southey Mikhail Lermontov The Demon jezdec gotska balada romantična književnost Robert Southey Mihail Lermontov Demon true true false [N.
