(THE MAKERS OF MYTHS)

Abstract

Mirko Jurak

The purpose of this study is to explore the influence of William Shakespeare on Slovene

playwrights in the period between 1876, which marks the appearance of Jurčič – Levstik’s

Tugomer, and the 1930s, when Oton Župančič published his tragedy Veronika Deseniška

(Veronika of Desenice, 1924) and, a few years later, Bratko Kreft his history, Celjski grofje

(The Counts of Celje, 1932). Together with Cankar’s works all of the plays discussed in this

study deal with one of the well-known Slovene myths.

In the previous number of Acta Neophilologica I published my study on the first

Slovene tragedy Miss Jenny Love, which was published in Augsburg in 1780. 1 The Romantic

period, which followed this publication, was in Slovenia and elsewhere in Europe mainly

characterized by the appearance of poetry, with a few exceptions of plays which were primarily

intended for reading and not for the stage (Closet Drama). Let me mention here that

in the Romantic period some of the finest Slovene poetry was written by France Prešeren

(1800-1849), and although some of his friends suggested he should also attempt to write a

play, his closest achievement to drama was his epic poem Krst pri Savici (Baptism at the

Savica River, 1836), which is also often considered by literary historians as a predecessor

of later Slovene dramatic literature.

Although many Slovene authors who wrote their works in the nineteenth century

knew Shakespeare’s plays, they still found it easier to express themselves in prose. The first

Slovene novel is Josip Jurčič’s Deseti brat (The Tenth Brother), which was published in 1866,

ten years earlier than his play Tugomer (Tugomer). However, Jurčič’s tragedy Tugomer was

artistically very much improved by the adaptation made by Fran Levstik, whose text has

been since considered as the “true” version of this play. Further editions and adaptations of

this play definitely prove that several Slovene authors have found the subject-matter of this

play worthy of new interpretations.

By the end of the nineteenth century the list of Slovene translators of Shakespeare’s

plays (most of them chose only some acts or scenes) was quite long. But it was only in 1899,

when Ivan Cankar’s translation of Hamlet appeared on stage of the Slovene National Theatre

in Ljubljana, that a real master of the Slovene language approached one of Shakespeare’s

plays. Cankar became enthusiastic about Shakespeare’s work and this is best seen also in

Shakespeare’s influence on three plays written by Cankar: Kralj na Betajnovi (The King of

Betajnova, 1901), Pohujšanje v dolini Šentflorjanski (Scandal in the Valley of Saint Florian,

1907) and Lepa Vida (Beautiful Vida, 1911). The same kind of “enchantment” caught Oton

Župančič, a Slovene poet, translator and dramatist, who had translated by 1924, when his

Veronika Deseniška (Veronika of Desenice) appeared, several plays written by Shakespeare.

A large number of echoes of Shakespeare’s plays can be found in Župančič’s play, not to

mention the Bard’s influence on Župančič’s verse and style. Such influence can also be

traced in Kreft’s play.

Many Slovene literary historians and critics mention in their studies Shakespeare’s

influence on Slovene dramatists but their reports are mainly seminal and rather generalizing.

Therefore the purpose of this study is to provide a deeper analytical insight into this topic.

Key words: William Shakespeare, his influence on Slovene dramatists (1867-1932): Josip

Jurčič, Fran Levstik, Ivan Cankar, Oton Župančič, Bratko Kreft.

I. INTRODUCTION

In my article on William Shakespeare and Anton Tomaž Linhart’s Miss Jenny

Love, published in 2009 in Acta Neophilologica, 2 I presented Shakespeare’s influence

on the first Slovene tragedy which was written by Linhart in 1780, and published in the

same year. 3 On the basis of numerous examples from this play I came to the conclusion

that Shakespeare’s influence on Linhart was much more important than had been previously

believed. Although plays which I shall deal with in my present article have been

discussed by a number of Slovene literary historians, the role of Shakespeare’s influence

on Slovene dramatists has often been neglected or rather generalized, made on personal

impressions of critics than on the actual textual evidence from Shakespeare’s plays.

After Linhart, and until the 1820s, there was no Slovene artist or critic who would

call the attention of our readers to the Bard. But with the beginning of the Romantic period

the situation changed quite rapidly and since then there was hardly a Slovene author or

critic who would not mention William Shakespeare and his work, either in his own writing,

or in his articles, letters, or diaries. In the Romantic period the predominant literary genre

in Slovene literature was – like in a number of other European literatures – poetry. With

the advancement of realism, the short story and the historical novel, in the second half

2 Jurak (2009, 3-43). – I have included in my text brief summaries of plays which I discuss in my study

in order to provide the basic reference for non-Slovene readers.

– Unless otherwise stated the translations from Slovene into English and vice versa were made by the

author of this article. Some titles of Slovene literary works have appeared in English in various versions; in

such cases I accepted one of them (or, in a few cases, coined a new English title).

3 Anton Tomaž Linhart (1756-1795), dramatist, historian, poet. His first play Miss Jenny Love was written

in German and published in Augsburg, Germany in 1780. It was first performed in Slovene on 20 October

1967 at the Slovene National Theatre (SNT) in Ljubljana. Linhart’s fame rests on his comedies: Županova

Micka (Molly, the Mayor’s Daughter, performed in 1789 by the SNT) and on Ta veseli dan ali Matiček se

ženi (This Happy day, or Matiček Gets Married, which was printed together with his first comedy in 1790

but, due to the censorship in the Hapsburg monarchy, not performed until 1848.). My analysis of Linhart’s

play Miss Jenny Love and particularly of Shakespeare’s influence on Linhart can be found in the above

mentioned study.

of the nineteenth century these genres acquired a much greater popularity than dramatic

art. Although the greatest Slovene poet, France Prešeren (1800-1849), mentions Romeo

and Juliet in his poem “Nova pisarija” (A new kind of writing), he did not translate into

Slovene, for example, any of Shakespeare’s sonnets or scenes from his plays, though he

did translate into Slovene the first 233 lines of Byron’s little known poetic tale “Parisina”.

In the l820s Prešeren was advised by his friends to write “a Romantic tragedy from

Carniola”, but his love for poetry prevailed and he did not feel ready to write a play on a

historical subject (Paternu 1976, 1977). Even though echoes of Shakespeare’s dramatic

style may be noticed in Prešeren’s epic poem “Krst pri Savici” (Baptism at the Savica

River) – particularly in Prešeren’s use of comparisons and metaphors (Koblar 1965: 144-5)

– Prešeren never took to drama. His friend Matija Čop had an excellent library including a

number of books written by English authors, e.g. by Thomas Moore, John Milton, Oliver

Goldsmith, Lord Byron etc. as well as thirteen plays (!) written by Shakespeare. One of

the reasons why Prešeren did not accept this challenge may also be that he had to worry

about earning money before he finally obtained a solicitor’s position (after all, poems

take less time to be written than plays). As he was one of Čop’s closest friends there is no

doubt that Prešeren had easy access to the Bard’s work. We should also remember that

this was the period when European artists greatly admired the work and ideas embodied

in the poems of Lord Byron, John Keats and P. B. Shelley. Although some English literary

historians believe that in the first half of the nineteenth century “Byron’s poetry was

greeted with an enthusiasm which his genius alone did not deserve” and that “poetry

written by Wordsworth constitutes the most important literary phenomenon of the time”

(Jack 1963: 2), the fact remains that at that time most European artists and intellectuals

interested in literature primarily admired poems written by English Romantic poets. I

believe that this was also mainly due to their passionate struggle for democratic ideals,

for a free individual as well as for the freedom and independence of nations. If we accept

this conclusion we may more easily understand not only the development of Slovene but

also of European drama of the nineteenth century. In 1848 the leading Slovene political

programme became the newly-established United Slovenia, a programme which was in

many ways very much like similar programmes of other central European countries in

which nations were not yet free and independent.

The first Slovene translations of individual scenes from Shakespeare’s plays began

to appear in various journal and periodicals in the 1850s. Some years later Slovene critics

also began to publish their own essays on Shakespeare and towards the end of the

nineteenth century their number constantly increased (Moravec 1974: 341-71). At this

time several Slovene critics and artists also expressed their wish that all of Shakespeare’s

plays be translated into Slovene, but this was a difficult task, which could only be realized

one hundred years later. Shakespeare’s first play to be performed by the Slovene

Dramatic Society (established in Ljubljana in 1867) was Othello, which was staged on

March 3, 1896. Hamlet, which in the first half of the twentieth century became Shakespeare’s

most popular play in Slovenia and was often referred to as “our folk play”, was

first produced in Slovene three years later, on December 27, 1899, by the Drama of the

Slovene National Theatre of Ljubljana (abr. as the SNG Drama). 4

4 The information regarding the programme of Slovene theatres since 1867 is available in Repertoar

slovenskih gledališč, 1867–1967 (A Repertoire of Slovenian Theatres, 1867–1967, published by the Slovenski

5

It should be mentioned though that since the sixteenth century citizens of

Ljubljana had many opportunities to see plays performed mainly by German and Austrian

travelling theatre companies. Several companies also performed plays written by

Shakespeare, or, as was common until the beginning of the nineteenth century also

elsewhere in Europe, they performed adaptations of Shakespeare’s plays. Productions

prepared by students of the Jesuit College in Ljubljana reach back to the seventeenth

century when these students also performed an adaptation of King Lear. Their activities

were important for Slovene population, because “the Jesuits also used the vernacular,

Slovene language, besides Latin and German”. 5 Many Slovene students who studied

in Vienna during the past few centuries saw Shakespeare’s plays performed there.

These intellectuals often brought back to Slovenia his plays printed either in English

or in other European languages. They also wrote about them in their letters to their

friends across Europe, and reported about them in their articles and essays published

in Slovenia and abroad.

II. THE THREE VERSIONS OF TUGOMER

– JOSIP JURČIČ: Tugomer (Ms. writ. in 1875; publ. in 1960). 6

– JOSIP JURČIČ and FRAN LEVSTIK: Tugomer (writ. and publ. in 1876. In this

edition only Jurčič was mentioned as the author of the play although nowadays Slovene

literary historians believe that this revised version of Jurčič’s play is mainly Levstik’s

work.) The play was first performed on 6 Feb. 1919 by the SNG Drama in Ljubljana;

still with Josip Jurčič mentioned as the only author.

– FRAN LEVSTIK and BRATKO KREFT: Tugomer (Levstik’s version adapted

by Kreft.) It was first performed on 25 Oct. 1947 by SNG Drama in Ljubljana; publ.

in 1967).

The reason why the first classical Slovene tragedy was written in several versions

is the result of the artistic problems with which the first author of Tugomer,

gledališki muzej, Ljubljana, 1967). Subsequent bibliographical compilations were published at first every

five years as Dokumenti slovenskega gledališkega muzeja (Documents of the Slovene Theatre Museum) and,

since 1993, annually under the title Slovenski gledališki letopis (Slovene Theatre Annual).

5 Grošelj 2004: 61-71.

6 Josip Jurčič (1844-1881), novelist, dramatist, journalist. Writer of historical novels, admirer of Walter

Scott. He wrote the first (prose) version of Tugomer (MS) in 1875, but this edition was published only in

1960.

– Fran Levstik (1831-1878), poet, novelist, dramatist, critic, journalist. With his essay Potovanje iz Litije

do Čateža (The Journey from Litija to Čatež, 1858) he influenced Josip Jurčič’s views on literature. He

completely revised Jurčič’s version of Tugomer, although the play was first published in 1876 only under

Jurčič’s name.

– Bratko Kreft (1905-1996), novelist, dramatist, theatre director, literary historian. His best known

histories are Celjski grofje (The Counts of Celje, 1932) and Velika puntarija (The Great Rebellion, 1937).

He adapted Levstik’s version of Tugomer for the stage, trying to follow in it the structure of Shakespeare’s

histories, several of which he produced at the SNG Drama in Ljubljana.

Josip Jurčič, was faced. He began to write Tugomer in trochaic verse, but his friend

and his literary mentor Fran Levstik advised him to use iambic pentameters, which

would suit the tragedy better. But Jurčič obviously could not realize this idea without

help and so he wrote the first version of Tugomer in prose (it appeared in print

only in 1960). Levstik offered Jurčič his help and the first printed version (based

on Levstik’s adaptation in iambic verse) was published already in 1876, but with

only Jurčič’s name mentioned as its author. Slovene literary historians (e.g. Anton

Slodnjak, Mirko Rupel, France Koblar etc.) agree that this version of Tugomer was

basically Levstik’s work.

Due to the censorship of the Hapsburg regime, the play was not allowed to be

performed in Slovene theatres until 1919, when Slovenia became a part of Yugoslavia.

Kreft’s version of Levstik’s text, which was performed after the Second World War, was

intended to make the play theatrically more vivid and structurally more in accordance

with Shakespeare’s histories and great tragedies.

The main source for Jurčič’s version of Tugomer was a description about the

fighting between the Franks and the Wends in the tenth century. It is presented in

Ludwig Giesebrecht’s book Wendische Geschichten aus den Jahren 780 bis 1182

(The History of the Wends from 780 to 1182, publ. in Berlin in 1843). This short

account (ibid. I, 142) was used by Jurčič as a parallel between the germanization of

the Wends (the Slavic people occupying the region between the Elbe and Oder rivers

in the eastern part of Germany) with the contemporary pressure of the Austrian

empire on the Slovenes in the second half of the nineteenth century. Giesebrecht’s

historical account is quoted by Mirko Rupel in Jurčič’s collected works (ZD IX, 1960:

270-71). In the German legend and in the first (Jurčič’s) prose version of Tugomer,

the hero is presented as a traitor who betrays his people because he is obsessed by his

erotic feelings for Zorislava, the widow of the former Slovene duke Čeligoj. When

Tugomer’s treason and his murder of Čeligoj become known, Zorislava kills him.

In Levstik’s version Tugomer is presented as an idealist, who trusts the Franks and

who is also himself betrayed by his “friends”. Whereas Jurčič’s version is centred on

the weaknesses of Tugomer’s character Levstik stressed in his version the drama of

ideas: a naive leader, who wishes to stop the wars between the Franks and the Slavs,

unwillingly betrays his people.

Josip Jurčič knew Raphael Holinshed’s Chronicles of England, Scotland, and

Ireland (1587) from which Shakespeare took plots for his historical plays. When Jurčič

was in Vienna (1865-1867) he studied Shakespeare and his plays 7 upon the advice of

his friend and his literary mentor Fran Levstik and it was then when he began to think

about writing a historical play. He wished to show in it how the discord among the

Slavic people and the ambitiousness of their leaders bring disaster to the whole nation.

It is obvious that Jurčič was enthusiatic about Shakespeare’s work, for in Jurčič’s best

known novel, Deseti brat (The Tenth Brother, 1866), the narrator exclaims: “Oh, thou,

great Shakespeare, the man of wisdom and knowledge”. He adds that Shakespeare could

not have thought, even in his dreams, that three hundred years later a person from Illyria

7 Jurčič mentions in his notes a study written by G. G. Gervinius, Shakespeare I, II (Leipzig 1848, 1850).

would reach his highness. 8 Jurčič was an important Slovene journalist and in his articles

he appealed to young writers to learn how to write by reading works written by great

masters, among whom he explicitly mentions Shakespeare. 9

We can also find references to Shakespeare’s plays in Levstik’s articles. So, for

example, in one of his early works Levstik paraphrased Hamlet’s words on the purpose

of playing: “The poet’s work should be the mirror of his time, it should be the cornerstone

of national life, otherwise it is of no value, it is like a building built on a spider’s

web”. 10 In the same essay Levstik stresses the need to establish a Slovene theatre which

would not present only stories dealing with lives of peasants but also other subjects. He

stresses in this essay that historical plays should be written in such a manner which did

not demand “the knowledge … of particular historical sources”. 11 This suggestion can

be linked with Aristotle’s statement in his Poetics (ch. 9), according to which the making

of the poet is “not to speak of incidents which have come to be, but rather of incidents

which might come to be … for making speaks more of universals while history speaks

more of particulars” (Aristotle 17). Levstik also made a clear distinction between the

ethical and the aesthetic components of a play: he states that even “a great criminal,

like Shakespeare’s Richard III, who is physically a handicapped person, is nevertheless

a beautiful aesthetic character, aesthetic, but not moral” (Levstik 1955: 389). Levstik

stresses Shakespeare’s artistic greatness particularly if it is compared with the knowledge

(writing) of a historian; a view about his talent which had been so well expressed before

in John Dryden’s evaluation of Shakespeare. 12 We may conclude that in the second half

of the nineteenth century William Shakespeare was considered by Slovene artists and

critics as one of the most important European artists of all times and that his influence

on Slovene writers was considered as most positive.

An important Slovene critic and writer in the second half of the nineteenth century

was also Josip Stritar. He was not enthusiastic when the provincial assembly of Carniola

issued in 1870 an award for an original Slovene historical drama; he suggested that the

competition should be open to all dramatic genres, because even among Shakespeare’s

plays his historical works (on English national history) are not placed among his most

important works. 13 Stritar advocates the aesthetic autonomy of the arts, and he adds

that if such a limitation as prescribed by the Slovene provincial assembly were imposed

on Shakespeare then even “this great man” could not receive such an award although

he wrote such plays as Hamlet, Othello, Romeo and Juliet, Julius Caesar. Stritar also

mentions Shakespeare as a great author as compared with Byron, Prešeren, Dante,

8 Jurčič’s reference is to the Illyrians, an ancient people, who lived in the country along the eastern part

of the Adriatic Sea, which became in 168 A.D. a Roman province (Illiricum). During Napoleon’s reign

(1809-1813) the Illyrian provinces, which were set up by Napoleon, included parts of Carniola and Carinthia

(i.e. of present day Slovenia) and their capital was Ljubljana. This is why Jurčič refers here to the reader,

Manica (“a person from Illyria”), who reads Shakespeare’s Hamlet. (Shakespeare’s comedy Twelfth Night;

Or, What You Will is also set in Illyria.)

which he wrote a number of critical essays. He advocated “the freedom of the arts”, their autonomy, in his

“conversations” and in his “critical letters” in his review Zvon (e.g. on 15 March 1870).

Goethe, Aeschylus, Sophocles, Calderon, Molière etc. 14 which undoubtedly shows his

great admiration of the Bard.

Slovene literary historian France Koblar surmises that Jurčič was stimulated to

write Tugomer by the above mentioned competition (Koblar 1972: 90). Several minor

Slovene dramatists also wrote plays on a historical subject during the final decades of

the nineteenth century, for example, Ivan Robida wrote the historical play Erazem Tattenbach

and Anton Medved Viljem Ostrovrhar. 15 The writer’s decision to write about

historical figures was probably the result of the increased awareness of Slovene national

consciousness in this period.

In the twentieth century Shakespeare’s plays were often directed in the Slovene

National Theatre in Ljubljana by Bratko Kreft. He also edited for publication the new

Levstik’s version of Tugomer, in which he mainly preserved Levstik’s text, and he directed

this version of Tugomer in the SNG Drama in Ljubljana in 1947. He also wrote a

preface to this publication and he stressed in it that Levstik’s play reflects Shakespeare’s

humanistic ideas as well as political, national and ethical ideals expressed by Lessing

and Schiller. 16

Dušan Moravec summarizes in his study on Shakespeare in Slovenia views expressed

by Slovene literary historians and critics by saying that they see Shakespeare’s

influence on Tugomer in its verse, form and structure (1974: 346). He points out that

already in 1932 Anton Slodnjak observed how Levstik had taken away from Jurčič’s

version all the Romantic, erotic connotations, and at the same time made the play sound

more archaic by his acceptance of Shakespeare’s dramatic technique. Moravec also mentions

Koblar’s afterword published in the Levstik and Kreft’s edition in which Koblar

states that even in Jurčič’s first version some elements containing “Shakespeare’s horror

and picturesqueness” may be seen. As I have already pointed out above Slovene literary

historians agree that the first published version of Jurčič’s Tugomer, which is written in

blank verse, is basically Levstik’s work. Koblar also stresses in his essay that ideas which

were relevant for Slovene history in the nineteenth century, i.e. the question of national

independence and the unity of the Slovenes, became the core of this tragedy. Matjaž

Kmecl states in his recently published study on Josip Jurčič that there are two versions

of Tugomer, the romantic and the classicist version; the first one written by Josip Jurčič,

which presents the tragedy of the hero’s character, and the second one by Fran Levstik,

which presents national – psychological aspects of this play. (Kmecl 2009: 122-125)

This can be a solution to the dispute regarding the “true” authorship of this play.

Several Slovene literary historians (e.g. Mirko Rupel, France Koblar etc.) also

mention that in Jurčič’s and in Levstik’s versions of Tugomer the influence of Shakespeare’s

histories and tragedies can be seen. Janko Kos suggests that Shakespeare’s

Coriolanus presents the most direct pattern for Levstik’s Tugomer, although he admits

that “there is a considerable difference between the two heroes” (2001:193-94), because

14 Josip Stritar (ZD VI, 1955: 16, 18, 141). He compares Shakespeare to Aeschylus, Dante, Calderon etc.

in whose works “the truth is discovered in the most beautiful image” when poetry and philosophy, beauty

and truth form a unique union. He calls these authors “poets and prophets.” (ibid. 60).

15 Ivan Robida (1871-1941) and Anton Medved (1869-1910) are rather minor literary figures. France Koblar

(1972: 150-163) compares Robida’s hero with Shakespeare’s Iago, and he finds in Ostrovrhar several motifs

which could be linked with Shakespeare’s plays.

16 Fran Levstik, Bratko Kreft. Tugomer (1967: 22-3).

Levstik’s hero is “indebted to the pre-Romantic classical tragedy”, and particularly to

Schiller, what Bratko Kreft had also mentioned (see above). According to Kos the Roman

leader Coriolanus is a mentally unstable hero who betrays his people because of

his egotism and his aristocratic nature. However, one should not forget that Coriolanus

finally reaffirms his love for Rome, though he pays for his betrayal of the Romans and

his support of the Volscians with his life. Kos does not see Levstik’s Tugomer as an

extremely proud character (like Coriolanus), although he also sees in Levstik’s character

his good sides and his noble nature. Further on, Kos finds parallels between Coriolanus

and Tugomer with regard to their attitudes to their mothers and to their wives, as well

as to their compatriots (the Romans and the Slavs), and to their opponents (i.e. to the

Volscians and to the Franks). But he points out that Tugomer’s relationship to his people

is different from that of Coriolanus, because Tugomer never transgresses the border line

between himself and his people.

The interpretation provided by Janko Kos places Coriolanus as the major, the

most important Shakespeare’s play to have influenced Levstik’s Tugomer. But if

we analyse and compare both plays in detail we see that there are also a number of

important differences between both plays and that Coriolanus is not likely to be the

only major influence on (different versions) of Tugomer and that this influence has

been over-estimated. First of all, Coriolanus and Tugomer come from a completely

different political, historical and social background: Coriolanus is a victorious Roman

leader who has won several battles against the Volscians and their general Aufidius,

but because his dignity is questioned by his Roman opponents he reacts with pride

and stubbornness; he leaves Rome and joins his opponents, the Volscians. Coriolanus

does not attack Rome because his mother Volumnia asks him not “to tread on thy

country’s ruin, / And bear the palm for having bravely shed / Thy wife and children’s

blood” (Cor. 5.3.16-18).

On the other side Tugomer is in a completely different position: in Jurčič’s text

he is in love with Zorislava and hopes to marry her. In this version she is a domineering,

ambitious woman, almost like Lady Macbeth. Therefore when Zorislava learns

that Tugomer had killed her husband, she stabs him (5.9). In Levstik’s poetic version

(5.8) as well as in Levstik-Kreft’s version (5.3), Tugomer never intends to subdue his

own people and he dies in the embrace of his loving wife Zorislava. Besides, Slovene

playwrights do not present Tugomer as a man who is so completely overcome with

his ambition as Coriolanus, but his main desire is to help his own country to become

independent so that the Slavs could live in peace and therefore he wishes to settle the

political and the military tensions between the Franks and the Slavs. Tugomer leads a

“just war” by protecting his people and their land and not a war to defeat and govern

another nation. 17 Although in Levstik’s version Gripo, who is a German settler among

the Slavs, tells Tugomer that he will be offered the crown – which really happens –

Tugomer rejects the offer; he is not like Shakespeare’s rulers, for example like Richard

III or Julius Caesar, whose rejection of the crown is only seeming and they actually

wish to wear the crown. Tugomer is the military leader who fights for the liberty of his

people, and not for his own fame. In Levstik – Kreft’s version Gripo’s suggestion that

17 See the interpretation regarding the treatment of war in Shakespeare’s plays in the study published by

Paola Pugliatti, Shakespeare and the Just War Tradition (Farnham, Surrey, Ashgate Publ. Co., 2010).

10

Tugomer should accept the crown is made in order to bring discord among the Slavs

(2.2). However, Tugomer is naive and he believes at first that a Slavic king would actually

bring his people the “benefit and blessing” even if he is selected by the Franks.

But he is mistaken what is proven by the duke of the Franks, Geron, who expresses his

hope that his offer to crown Tugomer will create in Tugomer a craving for fame (2.5)

and force him to become dependent on the Franks. But when Tugomer realizes that this

offer is really a trap, he tells Geron that he will never buy “the vassal’s crown” with the

bloodshed of his own people (3.6). In Levstik – Krefts’s version Tugomer admits to his

friend Bojan that if he had ever thought about the royal sceptre the only reason was that

in his view his leadership would be more firm and would bring freedom to his people

(Levstik – Kreft 1967: 164). In this version Tugomer finally entrusts the dukedom to

another tribal leader, Mestislav, and appeals to him to raise all the Slavs against their

enemy (ibid. 171). Mestislav sees Tugomer as an honest, proud Slavic warrior and he

tells other Slavic military leaders that “Tugomer was the bravest of them all in their

battle against the Franks”. In Act 5, Scene 3, just before his death, Tugomer tells his

son to be “a man made of steel, when he has to defend the honour of his nation, its

rights and its language” (ibid. 188). These thoughts and actions link the text in the

final Levstik – Kreft’s version much more to Shakespeare’s early chronicle plays than

to his late tragedies.

Coriolanus wishes to diminish his excessive ambitiousness and so he tries to excuse

his joining the Volscians by his “fight / Against my cank’red country” (4.5.93-4).

Tugomer also implicitly accepts faults which are obvious in his people (e.g. their lack

of unity), but he hopes that his efforts to make peace with the Franks will be successful

and that the Slavic people would thus become equal to the Franks. When Levstik’s

Tugomer is mortally wounded and he sees that he was betrayed by the Franks he tells

his people “to defend vigorously the honour of their country, the rights of its people and

their language” (5.8). The difference between the fate of the Romans in Coriolanus and

the fate of the Slavs in Tugomer is also important: whereas the Romans are (already) a

free nation, the Slavs still have to fight in order to gain their freedom. In Levstik’s eyes

the fate of the Slavs in his play and the historical reality with which the Slovenes were

faced in the nineteenth century, is the same: their future is rather uncertain and therefore

they should neither naively mislead themselves as regards the relations between them

and the Franks nor should they allow to be misled by their enemies (Levstik ZD V; 1955:

209). Coriolanus pays for his tragic opposition to his own people with his death (his

former and his real enemies, the Volscians, kill him), whereas Tugomer is killed in his

fight with the Franks. The playwright shows that Tugomer was naive and trustworthy

enough to have brought his best men to his enemies’ camp, where the Slavic leaders

with the exception of Tugomer – were killed. But when Tugomer sees how he had been

betrayed by the Franks he starts to fight with the Franks and dies a hero. In Tugomer

(Act 5) both ordinary Slavic soldiers as well as their military leaders and even the Franks

praise Tugomer’s decisive role in this battle, which can be compared in its meaning and

importance with the battle between King Henry the Fifth and the French. King Henry

tells his cousin Westmoreland and his soldiers that he is “not covetous for gold”, but

that he wishes to defend his honour and his country and he invites the English soldiers

to fight with him:

11

This day is called the feast of Crispian;

He that outlives this day, and comes safe home,

Will stand a tip-toe when this day is named

And rouse him at the name of Crispian. (King Henry V, 4.3.40-44)

He tells his soldiers that they will always remember this day, they will be proud

of the scars which they got in this battle and they will also be always remembered. They

who remain alive will be his “brothers”, and those who are not present will feel cursed

for not having been there. Tugomer also tells his friend Bojan that what he always had in

mind was the welfare of his country and not his own profit (Levstik ZD V 1955: 185).

In Levstik – Kreft’s version Tugomer appeals to his soldiers to fight bravely for

their country in a very similar way to that we find in Shakespeare’s King Henry V. The

similarity between the patriotic struggle of English soldiers against the French in Shakespeare’s

historical play and the battle fought by Tugomer’s soldiers against the Franks

does not appear to be incidental and we may justly surmise that both authors, Jurčič and

Levstik, may have had in mind the scene from this play written by Shakespeare when

they wrote about the fighting between the Slavs and the Franks.

Tugomer’s political programme is clear: the Slavs should endeavour to establish

peace with the Franks but in order to achieve this they should first be united. This, however,

does not happen. In Shakespeare’s histories justice finally wins, the legal order is

established again and the power of the people is vested in a character who can claim

legal rights for his rule. In Coriolanus the Romans remain free, whereas in Tugomer

the future of the Slavs remains uncertain although Levstik views it with optimism. We

can conclude that even though there are certain thematic parallels between Coriolanus

and Tugomer both plays differ in a number of significant aspects and that therefore

Coriolanus cannot present the main parallel between Shakespeare’s plays and Levstik’s

Tugomer. Both authors, Jurčič and Levstik, must have either read some of Shakespeare’s

histories, for example King Henry V, or they were at least informed about their plots

from sources about English literature they had known.

There are also some other parallels between Shakespeare’s plays and Levstik’s

Tugomer that have not been fully discussed yet. Among structural parallels between

Shakespeare’s plays and this play Slovene critics most often mention the introductory

scenes in which less important characters appear first. These characters function as the

Chorus, which presents the voice of common people. Whereas Jurčič uses in his version

of the play two minor characters, in Levstik’s version such “chorus” scenes include at

least three characters (e.g. three old men in 1.1, 1.2, 2.1, 4.2), or a whole group of people

(e.g. the citizens of Branibor: 1.5, 1.6, 4.1, 4.5), or even all the characters who represent

public opinion and are present on the stage (e.g. a group of senior citizens in 2.6; etc.).

Such Chorus scenes involving several or a group of people remind us of similar scenes

in Shakespeare’s histories, e.g. in King Henry V, in Coriolanus and in Hamlet.

The elements of superstition should also be mentioned as a similarity between

Shakespeare’s plays and Tugomer. The Slavic pagan priest Zovolj, who is almost completely

blind, foretells the future war between the Franks and the Slavs. He is like the

Soothsayer in Shakespeare’s Julius Caesar (1.2, 3.1). In the final scene of Levstik’s

Tugomer (5.10) Zovolj, for instance, announces the revenge of the Slavs on the Franks

and the future freedom of the Slavs. The dramatists’ presentation of aggressive and

12

treacherous Franks and Tugomer’s appeal to the Slavs to be brave and to defend the

honour of their nation and their language (5, 3) was most likely the main reason why

the play could not be produced in Slovenia during Hapsburg rule. On the other hand,

patriotic ideas expressed by English kings and other warriors in Shakespeare’s histories

were not questioned in the Hapsburg Empire and were accepted as a fact.

In both versions of Tugomer obvious omens indicate the tragic future of the Slavic

people. So, for example, in the introductory scene of Tugomer the three old men mention

Small Pumps and Accessories: Frequently Asked Questions

Oil Mist
Question: What accessory do I use to trap oil mist (which all oil sealed pumps emit during pump down or with gas ballast)? Answer: To meet regulations and preserve pump oil, fit a recommended Edwards oil mist filter (EMF) to the pump outlet, and connect the exhaust to an exhaust line. Question: If I operate an RV pump continuously or with high inlet pressure, what accessories do I need? Answer: Fit an Edwards mist filter (EMF) and a gas ballast oil return (GBOR) kit. Then the pump can be operated with the mode switch open and gas ballast oil return. The oil condensed in the filter will be continuously returned to the pump oil box.

Vapor Processing
Question: Which pump and accessories should I use if my process generates vapors which could condense in the pump? Answer: You can choose either an XDS pump, or rotary pump. Gas ballast should be used with both pumps; to sweep the vapor through the pump. This prevents condensation and oil contamination. Operate the pump with gas ballast for at least an hour before and after use. Choose the size of pump taking into account the vapor pumping rate. If you selected a rotary pump, then you should fit a gas ballast oil return kit and mist filter. Change the oil frequently and keep an oil change reminder tag on the pump. D-Lab would also be a suitable alternative depending on required pumping speed.

Dust and Particle Processes

Special Chemical Cleaning Processes

Contamination
Question: Which pump and accessories should I use if I must ensure that my process and process chamber (operated below 0.1 mb) are not contaminated with oil from the pump? Answer: Use an XDS scroll pump. Alternatively, you can use a rotary pump with a FL20K foreline trap fitted to the system inlet. The trap contains activated alumina which traps the oil molecules. To maintain the alumina charge, bake the charge basket or replace as required. Question: How can I reduce the noise level of my pump? Answer: If the noise is only obvious during pumping down then fitting the exhaust with a silencer (XDS pumps), or fitting an exhaust line will reduce the level. An alternative is to fit an acoustic enclosure. Contact Edwards for more information.

The table shows current data and suggests a suitable fuse rating. Starting current is drawn for less than one second and slow blow fuses should be used to prevent unnecessary rupture during starting. Pump outfits are rated for operation above 12C. Pump starting at temperatures lower than 12C will increase the current drawn due to the higher start torque required. This may cause the motor thermal overload to trip. Three-phase motors should be protected by a starter consisting of a suitably rated contactor and thermal overload. The trip current regulator on the thermal overload should be set according to the starter manufacturer's instructions.
