· emotion in perfect formFrance Prešeren je živel v prvi polovici devetnajstega stoletja, v obdobju romantike. Njegova poezija združuje globoka čustva, ljubezen in domoljubje z dovršeno obliko. Najbolj znan je sonetni venec, mojstrovina slovenske književnosti. Prešeren je dvignil slovenščino na raven velikih evropskih jezikov in dokazal, da je primerna za visoko umetnost. Danes ga Slovenci častijo kot narodnega pesnika; po njem se imenuje tudi kulturni praznik.
