Abstracts

EN

The preparation of any critical edition must inevitably be based on textological research. When it comes to the prose works of Štefan Krčméry (1892 – 1955), issues to be taken into account include not only the history of the texts in question, but also the complexity of author’s oeuvre, since analysis of his prose works often confirms the need to consider both these components. Clarifying the literary-historical context, defining the position of the prose works in Krčméry’s oeuvre and identifying the features of author’s poetics helps the editor gain the basis for the creation of editorial conception that would determine the character of the edition and support subsequent corrections made in the texts. Key issues pertaining to the preparatory process include the questions of completing of the texts, their linguistic adjustment and the way of presentation. The article points to the most prominent issues Štefan Krčméry’s prose texts pose in the initial stages of editorial preparation, but also to the basic textological and editorial tasks. Some of the proposed editorial solutions are substantiated by the publishing history of the texts in question.
