Baptism at the Savica , an epic about the loss of Slovenian independence, can also be understood as a successful attempt by France Preseren to outwit censors and use the form of a historic tale as a metaphor for expressing the content which, due to censorship, had to be omitted from his elegy Dem Andenken des Matthias Cop . Such an approach can help us resolve several apparent contradictions, shown in the interpretative history of the Baptism , such as the problem of Preseren’s own characterisation of the poem in his letter to Celakovský, or the question of Crtomir’s conversion at the end of the third part of this epic poem. In the 20th century, several interpretations came into being that understood Crtomir’s conversion to Christianity as an inevitable choice made by Slovenians in favour of a stronger, uniquely prospective Western culture circle, which serves as justification for Crtomir’s renunciation of freedom-loving Slovenianhood. According to the new understanding of The Baptism at the Savica , there are two Crtomirs, one is the hero and the other is the defeated one (the former, as he himself would like to be, is only an illusion by Preseren, and the latter, as he indeed is, is the one with whom the poet completely identifies himself), and the final message of the epic poem is understood as a condemnation of national inequality.
