Through the analysis of the Old Russian mentality in the seventeenth century, the monograph (‘“The Life of Archpriest Avvakum” : Russian Tradition Put to the Test’) sheds light on the problem and ...cultural-historical specificity of the phenomenon of the so-called Old Russian literature. Linguistic complexities (prohibitions, rules) point to deep-rooted norms that prescribed the Old Russian way of governing, the ecclesiastical system and the relationship between dealing with the existing knowledge and Christian tradition.
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.
Na pisateljevem nagrobniku piše: JOSIP JURČIČ, rojen na Muljavi blizu Krke 4. marcija 1844, umrl v Ljubljani 3. maja 1881. leta. Svojemu pisatelju in prvoboritelju postavil hvaležni narod slovenski. ...“Tvrd bodi, neizprosen, mož jeklen / kadar braniti je česti in pravde / narodu in jeziku svojemu!” (Tugomer V. 8)Spomenik je bil oblikovan v “starogrškem” slogu in po načrtu “pariškega arhitekta Le Blanca”. Iz sežanskega apnenca ga je izdelal ljubljanski kamnoseški mojster Vinko Čamernik. Stroški za nagrobnik in za železno ograjo so znašali 700 goldinarjev. Nagrobnik ima reliefni rastlinski okras ter posnema klasicistične nagrobnike, s svojo višino pa je kot javni spomenik. (Povzeto po: M. Piškur, S. Žitko: Ljubljansko Navje. Ljubljana, 1997. O postavitvi Jurčičevega spomenika so pisale tudi Novice gospodarske, obertnijske in narodske, v rubriki Naši dopisi, 2. 11. 1881, št. 44, str. 355.)
