Majcen’s short prose in the context of the moderna and its stylistic features

Prispevek se ukvarja z Majcnovo kratko prozo do leta 1923, katere osrednji del je nastal v času pisateljevih študentskih let na Dunaju, to je v letih od 1908 do 1913. Analiza Majcnove kratke proze je postavljena v kontekst Ivana Cankarja in dunajske moderne. Lik otroške ženske, nasprotje med spoloma, tema umetnika in ženske, stilizirani opisi deklet, smrti ter literarnih prostorov povezujejo Majcnovo kratko prozo s Petrom Altenbergom ter motivno-tematskimi in stilnimi prvinami secesije. The article treats Majcen's short prose untill 1923, the main portion of which the author wrote during his student years in Vienna, i.e., between 1908 and 1913. The analysis of Majcen's short prose is placed in the context of Ivan Cankar and the Vienna Moderna. The image of a childish woman, the conflict between genders, the topic of an artist and a woman, stylized descriptions of girls, death, and literary spaces connect Majcen's short prose with Peter Altenberg and the motifs, thematic, and stylistic elements of Art Nouveau (Vienna Secession).
