Realism

I presume, due to the context, that the link to Realism should be directed to Realism (philosophy), not Realism (arts). Aldo L (talk) 00:08, 13 October 2010 (UTC)Reply

"Slovenian poet"

edit

"Slovenian" can refer to one's ethniticy or to one's nationality/to the country "Slovenia".
In the case of Anastasius Grün/Alexander von Auersperg neither applies:
There was no "Slovenia" yet, the duchy's name was Carniola; and the text rightly says, "he represented the district of Laibach in the German Frankfurt Parliament, to which he tried in vain to persuade his Slovene compatriots to send representatives".
I think "a poet ... from Carniola" is enough, and "Slovenian" ought to be removed.--Marschner (talk) 14:06, 16 January 2011 (UTC)Reply

I agree. Slovenian is an inappropriate adjective for Anastasius Grun. Viator slovenicus (talk) 14:12, 16 January 2011 (UTC)Reply
