Description
Summary:Suzanne of Babylonia is a poetic composition, a kind of occasional poetry. In inspectional reading we recognize that a poet of the piece breaks traditional scheme of occasional poems of felicitation type. We consider the poem an artistic jewel in the Slovak literature from a turn of the 18th – 19th centuries. It shows a mosaic of a number of detailed artistic artefacts in both figurativeness and non traditional composition. Tablic makes an experiment with structure, composition, and also with a length of it. He uses unusual motifs and pictures and non traditional verse, rhythmic scheme. His auctorial approach is remarkable in many ways. Mapping Tablic´s auctorial strategy in the text could help to get deeper insight into textual meaning as well as into a kind of influence on further development of Slovak literature in the period of a turn of the 18th – 19th centuries. It is possible that just this sort of writing made a space for Tablic to use specific, in our literary context still non traditional literary methods although in the western European countries in that time they were quite common.
