I consider three paths, i. e. autobiographical representation, a high level of author's empathy, aesthetics of production and the two possibilities for the readers to empathize - identification with the character and the narrative situation. The empathizing is also analysed according to the three modes, so-called bounded, ambassadorial, and broadcast empathy. The disharmony between the empathy of the author and the reader shows that the novel Ward of our Lady of Mercy received less empathy not because of the defectiveness of the empathy in the author but because of the defectiveness of the empathy in the readers of the novel. At the beginning of the twentieth century, Slovenian readers were unable to share the emotions and perspectives of this innovative novel, which is why they preferred the Cross on the Mountain. To explain the disharmony between the empathy of the author and the reader, the distinction between literary and trivial empathy also had to be taken into account; this difference again proves that the novel Cross on the Mountain was suitable for the average reader open to trivial empathy, while Ward of our Lady of Mercy required more demanding literary readers and their orientation towards literary empathyRomana Ivana Cankarja (1876-1918) Hiša Marije Pomočnice in Križ na gori (oba 1904) sem raziskala z analizo pripovedne empatije, in sicer bralčeve in avtorjeve empatije, z novim pristopom k pripovednim besedilom v postklasični teoriji pripovedi. Zanimalo me je, zakaj je prvi roman ob svojem izidu presegel bralčev horizont pričakovanja in s tem dosegel tudi manjšo pripovedno empatijo pri bralcih, drugi pa je izpolnil horizont pričakovanja in s tem tudi večjo stopnjo pripovedne empatije na ravni recepcije. Pri avtorjevi empatiji sem upoštevala vse tri poti, tj. avtobiografičnost, visoko stopnjo avtorjeve empatičnosti in estetiko produkcije, pri bralčevi empatiji dve možnosti - identifikacijo z likom in pripovedno situacijo -, medtem ko sem v analizi primerjala tehnike empatiziranja. Neskladje med bralčevo in avtorjevo empatijo je namreč pokazalo, da je roman Hiša Marije Pomočnice ob izidu doživel manj pripovedne empatije zaradi manjše bralčeve empatije, ker slovenski bralci ob začetku 20. stoletja niso zmogli deliti čustev in perspektiv ob tem Cankarjevem inovativnem romanu, in so se od njega odvrnili. Tudi razlika med literarno in trivialno empatijo je dokazala, da je Križ na gori zaradi svoje tradicionalnosti in manjše literarne kvalitete bolj ustrezal povprečnemu bralcu, odprtemu za trivialno empatijo, Hiša Marije Pomočnice pa zahtevnejšemu (literarnemu) bralcu in njegovi usmerjenosti k literarni empatijiTEXTznanstveno časopisjejournalsSlovenian National E-content AggregatorNational and University Library of SloveniaSlovensko društvo za primerjalno književnost
