The article provides an interpretation of the educational publication Hviezdoveda, alebo Životopis Krutohlava, čo na Zemi, okolo Mesiaca a Slnka skúsil a čo o obežniciach, vlasaticiach, pôvode a konci sveta vedel [Star-science, or The biography of Headshaker: his travels on the Earth, around the Moon and the Sun, his knowledge of planets, comets, the beginning and the end of the world]. Gustáv Reuss (1818 – 1863) wrote the piece in 1856, but it was only published more than a century later, in 1984. The author drew on the tradition of tractates and educational and popularising texts of the Enlightenment phase of the Slovak National Awakening and attempted to present educational contents – information about the universe, especially the solar system – to the lay audience by means of an appealing narrative. The text is considered to be the first representative of the science fiction genre in Slovak literature, but fantasy elements do not form a coherent layer in it. In a sober Enlightenment spirit, Reuss accentuates rationalism (even scepticism) in his work. At the same time, he is ironic towards the fabricated national ideal of the engaged Romantic nationalists and the messianic conception of the Slavic predestination according to which all temporal and spatial obstacles can be overcome by all-embracing pan-spirituality. Owing to these elements, Reuss’s authorial strategy gains the air of Romantic irony.

Based on the analysis of two period newspaper articles published in 1846, the contribution provides a glimpse into the shaping of the position of women in society during Romanticism with a special accent on women’s involvement in the national movement. The Protestant priest Štefan Václav Homola (1820 – 1881) published an article addressing girls’ and women’s education in Slovak entitled Ústavy pre vychovávanie dievčat [Institutions for girls’ education]. His text triggered a response from Johana Miloslava Lehocká (1810 – 1849), a published poet and wife of a Protestant priest from Liptovský Trnovec. Period intellectuals aimed at “awakening” the women and elevating them from the low “matter” to the higher level of national “spirit,” but they were primarily concerned with the interests of the national movement, not with women’s education. J. Lehocká accentuated the necessity of educating women and the need for professional training of Slovak women teachers. In her article, Lehocká – in line with period understanding of the function of the woman in society – interpreted the role of women in the Romantic national project as a duty. At the same time, however, she described various limitations that impeded women from self-realization.
