This article pays attention to the relation between historical knowledge and historical prose. It describes the historical genre as an interdiscursive invariant of the author and reader conventions. Its production and reception variants activate interdiscursive action, important for the proper functioning of the genre convention. The author focuses on thematic elements, which in historical knowledge represent a trace of the past – a proof of past events. The writer incorporates documents, photographs, facts found in archives, findings of archaeologists, etc. into the theme of the text. In examining different ways of incorporating these traces existing behind the text into fiction, the article treats Jozef Banáš’s Zastavte Dubčeka! (Stop Dubček!, 2009), Jaro Rihák’s Pentcho (2015), Pavol Rankov’s Matky (Mothers, 2011) and Silvester Lavrík’s Nedeľné šachy s Tisom (Sunday chess with Tiso, 2016) and Posledná barónka (The last Baroness, 2019). In historical prose, the rules of text reception include recognizing the correlation between the thematic elements and historical knowledge, as well as observing the creative transfer of these elements undergo to co-create new horizons of meaning.

The strong emphasis that is nowadays puts on interdisciplinary approaches and – after the spatial turn in social sciences and the humanities – on space have also inspired literary research of space. From the perspective of contemporary literary studies, the theory of geocriticism developed by Bertrand Westphal is inspiring for its interdisciplinarity and geocentrism. In close connection with such fields as anthropology, geography, history, or cultural studies, B. Westphal defines geocriticism as a poetics of interactions between literature and human space. The French literary scholar also studies the relationships between the fictional and real worlds of literary works and their social and geographical contexts. This in his view helps to shape cultural identities. The article introduces in detail the theory of geocriticism and its main premises and principles in order to inspire future research, the object of which could be the formulation of a geocritical analysis.
