Josip Murn, also known under the pseudonym Aleksandrov (4 March 1879 – 18 June 1901) was a Slovene symbolist poet. Together with Ivan Cankar, Oton Župančič, and Dragotin Kette, he was regarded as one of the beginners of modernism in Slovene literature.^[1] After France Prešeren and Edvard Kocbek, Murn was probably the most influential Slovene poet of the last two centuries.^{[citation needed]}
