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 aim of this article is to show how a text categorised as a part of popular culture bears in a concentrated form the elementary authorial - perceptional conventions on which is based a reader's basic experience with the text. The author presents this problem on one of the key works of the Slovak interwar popular literature: Jozef Niznansky's novel 'Cachticka pani'. The author drew from the work of Frye and Miko about the possibility and necessity of reading a literary text from an archetypal perspective; and the work of Eco and Liba about the structure of a popular literature and mass culture. The article sheds light on the archetypal underpinning of Niznansky's novel and on the inter-textual references within this work to the oldest versions of myths about the search for eternal youth and eternal life, and myths about the search for social justice in a variant pointing to the legend of Janosik. The current article represents a completely new analytical reading of the interwar text in the Slovak literary context. The study: uncovers the novel's inter-textual connections; argues that from a genre point of view it is an adventure novel from history, and not a historical novel; and shows that popular literature can serve as a 'school of reading' given its structure which is created as a game with the conventions between the author and the reader.

The study contains an interpretation of Slovak romantic writer Jozef Miloslav Hurban´s prose Olejkar (Medicine man). It is meant to verify essential structural features which participate in the production of the prose´s receptive meaning. The interpretation showed that the basic intention which can be identified in the text is deliberately laying emphasis on pragmatic functions of fiction. The intention is in accord with the idea of fiction purposefulness which was presented and formulated by Jozef Miloslav Hurban in his theoretical works, namely Slovensko a jeho zivot literarny (Slovakia and its literary life), where Hurban openly formulates his idea of extra literary functions of fiction, while the nation representation is the dominant one. The key element, necessary for history thematisation, is Hurban´s construct of progressive history direction epitomized in the metaphor of a pyramid. Thus, formed theoretical premise finds its fictional manifestation in the prose Olejkar. In the terms of history thematisation, the composition principle is tension between historiographic verified version of historical facts and their fictional recoding. This approach is in the text represented by the character of Matus Cak Trenciansky, who is depicted as a 'Slovak patriot' and a representative of 'good old times'. The functional emphasis of nation-representative intention is also seen in the thematisation of love as mainly individual heroic sacrifice for the good of the nation. Thus, Hurban incorporates into his prose - besides his own theoretical construct of nation history - Stur´s call for sacrificing personal matters (love, marriage) on the altar of the nation.

Presented study is an interpretation of key Slovak literary pieces of historical genre written in 40-tieth and the first half of 50-tieth of the 20th c. Particularly there are a novel 'Zlate mesto' (Golden City) by J. Horak, M. Figuli's 'Babylon' and a novelette 'Skryty pramen' (Hidden Resource) by L. Zubek. Those three publications help to present the fact, that historical genre is based on ambivalence of event and duration. Historical event is not in the centre like dynamic sujet event but everyday human life is like natural foundation of that event. The archetypal conventions of myth represent a leading element of that structural setting. Reading of Horak's and Figuli's novels and the novelette of L. Zubek showed that through those works aesthetically problematic line in the history of historical genre in Slovak prose has been extended. The novels are in connection with mythically pragmatic line. Contra-factual influence against contemporary socially political situation was a part of their reception meaning. It is an extension of the line on the beginning of which J. M. Hurban stood and which continued in the period between the World War I and World War II through the historical novels of Martin Kukucin and Martin Razus. Participation of the prosaic works studied in that article shows in both mentioned above lines specifics of time, in which they were written as well as specific functions, which appear always in connections with historical genre, when texts written in that genre appears in the contemporary literary life in the centre of attention.
