IDEOLOŠKA RECEPCIJA KRŠČANSTVA V PREŠERNOVEM KRSTU PRI SAVICI IN V PESNITVI
BRÉBEUF AND HIS BRETHRENS EDWINA JOHNA PRATTA
Prešernov Krst pri Savici in pesnitev Brébeuf in njegovi sobratje si poleg nacionalnospodbudne tematike (slednji
je eksplicitno intendiran kot nacionalni ep) delita tudi problematično reprezentacijo krščanstva, kar je
spodbudilo tudi izrazito raznolike odzive v recepciji obeh pesnitev. Ti so v obeh primerih – običajno odvisno
od svetovnonazorske opredeljenosti interpreta – nihali vse od razumevanja pesnitev kot krščanske apologije
pa do mnenja, da gre za eksplicitno kritiko krščanstva in vere. V primeru Krsta je raznolikost interpretacij
mogoče pripisati tudi razlikam v intepretaciji Prešernovega odnosa do svobodomiselne ideologije in ideologije
krščanstva po smrti Prešernovega prijatelja Matije Čopa. V Prattovem primeru pa raznolikost interpretacij zelo
verjetno izhaja iz nasprotja med v pesnitvi izbranimi junaki, ki so nosilci katoliške ideologije in pokristjanjenja
staroselcev, in protestantizmom, ki je prevladujoč ne le v Kanadi nasploh, ampak je bil zlasti tudi temelj
Prattovega osebnega verskega prepričanja, saj je bil Pratt nekaj časa aktiven klerik.

IDEOLOGY IN THE RECEPTION OF THE CHRISTIANITY IN THE BAPTISM ON THE SAVICA BY F.
PREŠEREN AND IN BRÉBEUF AND HIS BRETHREN BY EDWIN JOHN PRATT
In addition to national interpellation in both, Prešeren’s Krst pri Savici (The Baptism on the Savica) and Brébeuf
and His Brethren by E. J. Pratt, also share a problematic representation of Christianity, which stimulated
extremely diverse responses in the reception of the two poems. In both cases the responses ranged from
understanding the poems as a Christian apology to the opinion that they were an explicit critique of
Christianity and religion, while the criteria for reception often depended on the worldview of readers. The
diversity of interpretations of The Baptism can also be attributed to differences in the interpretation of
Prešeren’s attitude towards liberal ideology and the ideology of Christianity following the death of Prešeren’s
friend Matija Čop. In Pratt’s case, however, the diversity of interpretations most likely stems from the contrast
between the Jesuit background of the Christian mission in the Indian territories, and Protestantism, the
predominant religion in Canada and the foundation of Pratt’s beliefs. Pratt was also an active cleric for some
time.
Key words: Christianity, ideology, literary reception, Krst pri Savici, Brébeuf and his Brethren
