SLAVIC ALLUSIONS OF THE AUSTRIAN LITERATURE OF THE 19th CENTURY

Slavic narrative of the Austrian literature of the 19th century was an important part of the author's worldview and the structure of the texts of many works. These are folk songs of Slovenes arranged by A. Gruen, allusions of Czech and Moravian legends and tales in the works of A. Stifter and M. Ebner-Eschenbach. Austrian writers intuitively rejected the "friend - foe" dilemma. Since childhood, the artistic world of Slavic culture was not alien to them, since they were actively attached to it. This circumstance can be explained by the peculiarity of the evolution of the Austrian Empire, which developed in the course of a long historical development. Because of this, Austrian literature was open not only to genetic and linguistic penetration, but also to the perception of other cultural layers, in particular, those associated with Slavic mythology. Slovenian semantics is introduced into the texts by A. Gruen (a Christmas carol as a wish for good, a dove as a symbol of love, King Marko as a public defender). A. Stifter implicitly refers to the Czech legends (Vitiko is a just ruler, the Field as an expression of the spirit of the forest and the world). Ebner-Eschenbach tells about the morals and problems of the Moravian village through the structure of a folk tale.
