Abstract

The aim of this paper is to present and investigate the special social role played by Slovene historical drama from the 1960s to the 1980s. Although historical drama is usually viewed as a means of creating national and ideological myths, in this case it represented a means of formulating social criticism during a period of extreme ideological control in the arts.
