Born in 1963 in Ljubljana, Slovenia, Andrej Blatnik's first foray into the world of creative expression occurred in the 1980s when he became a bass guitarist in a punk rock band.
In her article "A Survey of Slovenian Women Fairy Tale Writers" Milena Mileva Blai? begins with an introduction to the Slovenian fairy tale writing tradition dating back nearly 150 years. While male ...authors published collections of tales, women writers published only individual fairy tales and owing to their biographies giving birth to children and caring for their families gained less, if any, recognition in literary history. Blai?'s overview of Slovenian women writers of fairy tales and scholarship about the genre includes the related genre of youth literature. Blai?'s survey is placed in the context of West European fairy tale writing and she presents the literary history of women's fairy tale writing in Slovenian from the nineteenth- to the twenty-first century.
This monograph deals with theoretical and historical aspects of the position of the writer in Slovenia from the end of 18th century, when literature started to differentiate itself from other systems ...and form an autonomous social system, to the situation in which the writer finds himself at the beginning of the 21st century.
