The question of encouraging love for one´s own language as an essential identifying sign of a nation is one of the significant subjects in the poetry of Bohuslav Tablic (1769 – 1832), who did a lot to help stimulate the interest in the original language of the Slovak population as well as in its literary form. Although his literary language is usually superficially described as Czech, it is not accurate as he himself promoted the project of the common literary language for both Slovak and Czech language communities, where Czech and Slovak elements would be applied equally. The choice of his literary language was supported by the three-hundred-year-old tradition of Czech language (also in the Slovak environment), which he regarded as one of the proofs of its full development. The analyses of his poetry show that he considered it to be a suitable platform for reflecting on the problems in the society at that time including the issue of language. There are a number of poems in which he appealed to the Slovak society to realize the importance of the language for its life in the multilinguistic Habsburg monarchy. He often called for study of the national language, for its development and refinement mainly through its active use in literary production.

The idyll has an important position in Hollý´s poetic production. This type of poetry can be found throughout his literary activity. It significantly affects the way his poetic production is assessed as a whole, and it defines its place in the development of Slovak poetry. The Christmas idylls Miloslav, Vitoslav and Spasitel/Messiah are not only confined to the contemplation of the spiritual level of the Christmas mystery as the fulfilment of God´s plan of salvation, but they offer several interpreter levels. They also prove Hollý´s poetic craftsmanship satisfying the most stringent poetry criteria as well as his intense relationship to the domestic cultural and the literary tradition.

Occasional poetry is an important part of literary production of Bohuslav Tablic (1769 – 1832). It was reflected on by the literary historian Rudo Brtáň (1907 – 1998) in his works focused on literature written at the turn of the 19th century or in his monograph Bohuslav Tablic (1769 – 1832). Život a dielo/Bohuslav Tablic (1769 – 1832). Life and Work/ published in 1974. He did not exclude the occasional poetry as a peculiar or even inferior group of writings without a notable message but he attributed it an important function and a significant role in forming the poetic profile of Bohuslav Tablic as well as Slovak literature of that time. The synthesis of Brtáň´s assessments of B. Tablic´s occasional poetry along with the results of the contemporary analyses of individual poetic texts form the basis for this paper that concentrates on defining the development of Tablic´s poetic means of expression in this particular type of poetic production featuring a distinct updating dimension, where the up-to-date nature alone was a guarantee of certain attractiveness. Although the results of the contemporary research make it necessary to reassess some of R. Brtáň´s conclusions, several of his findings, especially the starting position of respect for occasional poetry, remain an important impulse for further literary historical analyses and interpretations of Tablic´s work as a whole.

Focusing on the late 18th and early 19th occasional poetry, the article discusses the necessity of making accessible to contemporary audiences the works of older Slovak literature. It tackles textological problems such writing poses and addresses issues pertaining to its adequate evaluation from the point of view of literary history. An adequate assessment of the place these texts occupy in the history of the given literature primarily needs to be based on their complex interpretation springing from an intimate knowledge of the text. Making accessible the widest possible corpus of these literary works is therefore an integral part of research of older literature. In 2020, the authors Martin Braxatoris, Ivona Kollárová, Lenka Rišková and Oľga Vaneková published the monograph Príležitosť poézie. Miesto a význam príležitostnej poézie Juraja Palkoviča, Bohuslava Tablica a Pavla Jozefa Šafárika v dejinách slovenskej literatúry [Poetry’s occasion. The place and role of occasional poetry by Juraj Palkovič, Bohuslav Tablic and Pavel Jozef Šafárik in the history of Slovak literature] which, among other things, contains a selection of occasional verse. On the example of this edition, the article describes textological approaches adopted by the authors. Observations outlined in this article wish to inspire future research that would similarly aim at formulating a more exact set of defining principles concerning editorial handling of this type of texts.
