Oton Župančič (pronounced [ˈoːtɔn ʒuˈpáːntʃitʃ]; January 23, 1878 – June 11, 1949; pseudonym Gojko [ˈɡóːjkɔ]) was a Slovene poet, translator, and playwright. He is regarded, alongside Ivan Cankar, Dragotin Kette and Josip Murn, as the beginner of modernism in Slovene literature. In the period following World War I, Župančič was frequently regarded as the greatest Slovenian poet after Prešeren, but in the last forty years his influence has been declining and his poetry has lost much of its initial appeal.
