The article analyses vampirical motifs – elements of great importance within the Dark Romanticism trend – in texts by two representatives of Slovak literature of the interwar period: Muž s protézou (Man with prosthesis) by Ján Hrušovský and František Švantner´s Nevesta hôľ (The Bride of the Mountains). In both cases the vampirism involved is of erotic character, what differs, however, is the degree to which it is metaphorical. Hrušovský employs some elements of the vampire´s condition, thus enlarging the scope of the modernist textual manoeuvers, whereas the creation of the vampirical heroine in Švantner´s prose falls into the pattern of elements contributing to the structure of the gothic in the novel.

The goal of the paper is to stimulate discussion about literary antisemitism in modern Slovak literature exemplified by one of its most notable writers, František Švantner (1912 – 1950). In line with the research trends in the Czech and German contexts, it draws attention to interconnections between literature and other discourses at that time, and the ambivalent nature of depicting Jews in literature, where negative stereotypes are combined with seemingly positive ones (literary „allosemitism“). The analysis of two selected novels and one novella reveals a modernized stereotype of the „Jewish usurer“, which was present in Slovak literature from the early 19th century. Under the influence of the racist discourse the usurer stereotype was transformed into the parasite stereotype using the symbol of blood as the central metaphor. In the novel Nevesta hôľ / The Bride of the Ridge Švantner suggests the variant of vampirism, which is further developed in the novel Život bez konca / Life without an End in the sense of „racial impregnation“, i.e. infection and contagion. In the novella Sedliak / The Peasant thematizing his personal experience with persecution of Jews during the World War II, the ambivalent nature of literary antisemitism is referred to by questioning the victim status of the literary character, who he again portrayed by conforming to the parasite stereotype.

The goal of the paper is to give an interpretatory analysis of the novel Dáma/The Lady (1948) by František Švantner. The first part of the paper deals with the issue of authenticity of the subject matter in this piece of fiction. Traditionally, it is regarded as the literary rendition of Švantner´s friend Anton Kúdelka´s experiences from the times of the occupation of Poland in 1939. Based on the research into Kúdelka´s personal military records and the deployment of the military units in the given period of time, the paper makes a correction to the literary historical tradition stating that the town Zakopane was the real setting of the depicted events; Anton Kúdelka did not serve in Zakopane. The paper then focuses on the literary techniques used in Dáma, which have not been examined sufficiently despite the rich literary reflection on Švantner´s works (with reference to the knowledge of the most prominent experts on Švantner´s works, especially Števček, Kuzmíková). There is a discrepancy between the proclaimed authenticity of the narration and the stylistic rendition of this intention, the antithetical connection of the contrasting images created by means of poetic language as well as the „false trace“ narration technique and the alternation of the passages featuring subjective and objective tones. These techniques play part in building the drama of the novella and support the expressive style, which proves that the style in this piece of fiction is related to previous Švantner´s production and the line of lyric prose. In the end, the paper offers an interpretation of the novella title; the lady as: the protagonist, the social status, the irony of the common understanding of this word, a game (draughts), a chess piece (queen) and a figure in the hands of the evil. The contribution of the paper lies in revealing the literary historical distortion related to the original subject matter and in presenting the in-depth analysis of Švantner´s literary techniques used in the novella Dáma having the ambition to enrich the Švantnerological literary historical corpus.

The study suggests a view of the work by František Švantner, regarded as the most significant writer of Slovak Naturism, from the perspective of Modernism in its wide sense as defined by the contemporary discourse of literary science as well as the discourse of cultural studies. Such a point of view results in a question whether it is necessary to include this author in the narrower context of Naturism, which makes his work seem less rich and the transformations of the Modernist paradigm in his creative life less clear. Therefore the study attempts to penetrate various concepts of modernity reflected in Švantner´s novellas, it attempts to show how complicated their genealogy is, since an important role in them is played by popular and post-Gothic literature. The literary material being analysed is the period of the writer´s creative life concluded with Nevesta hôľ /The Bride Of The Ridge/. And this is the piece of writing that proved to be the best literary material to be analysed from the perspective of Post-Gothicism, which is more and more often recognized in Modernism in its wide sense.

The analysis of the texts in the study seeks to prove the hypothesis that most of František Švantner´s short stories from the collection Malka (1942) belong to the genre of fantasy as it is defined by Tzvetan Todorov: the endings of the most stories leave the reader oscillating between the natural and supernatural interpretations of the plot. The epistemological status of numerous events in the story is ambivalent. Švantner´s texts generate the fantasy effect by means of motif focalisation: each hypothetically supernatural motif is focalised through a literary character´s perspective. The suyzhet must be reconstructed by a model reader in the text – this suyzhet is set in the crossing point of the different characters´ (contradictory) dialogue perspectives. Another method of generating the fantasy effect is a blank space in the text, a missing story syntagm (a data concealing approach) and the inversion of time coordinates, when e.g. the emergence of a character who was already dead at that time (which the reader does not learn until the end) allows the „psychic“ interpretation, too. Emphasising the genre dimensions of Švantner´s texts may also fulfil an important role in the literary life when translating these texts into a foreign literature: hypothetically, they could be introduced into a new literary context as a sample of a particular genre rather than as a sample of Slovak literature.

The subject of the study is a comparative analysis of two literary works of the lyrical prose representatives, who were inspired by the military events of September 1939 in terms of content, in particular the participation of the Slovak Army in the war against Poland. The goal is to zoom in on the circumstances, context of origin and publication of the texts: Olovený vták (Bird of Lead) (1940) by Margita Figuli and Dáma (The Lady) (1948) by František Švantner. Both works were published in the Slovenské pohľady magazine (Slovak Views). In the case of Figuli, attention is paid to the transformation of references in the resources (Slovák daily) within the author's artistic concept. The subject of analysis also includes the relationship between the publication of the prose and subsequent loss of the writer’s job as the correspondent in Tatrabanka. Research of Švantner’s work The Lady concentrates on the identification of sources used as the writer’s source of inspiration. Švantner based his writing on the narrative of his friend, Anton Kúdelka, who served in the North-Eastern part of the Polish-Slovak border and could be present at the events when the civilians were ordered to hand over their weapons – this event is also supported in the sources. Both works of prose are connected mainly by the pacifist ideological focus reflecting the way the Slovak culture reacted to this part of our history.
