The study analyses the structural elements of the story of three members of Štúr’s group to the poet Ján Hollý. The meeting of representatives of the Protestant and Catholic intelligentsia in 1843 is one of the key moments in the Slovak national historical narrative. It symbolizes national unity overcoming confessional limitations. The author investigates this story as a part of nationalist propaganda, pointing to its use for the needs of national ideology.

The study is an attempt to write a view of Francisci´s poetry compiled in the collection Iskry zo zaviatej pahreby /Sparks of the Overlaid Embers/, against the background of Štúr´s ideas of Slavic poetry formulated in Prednášky o poézii slovanskej /Lectures on Slavic Poetry/ and his essay O národných povestiach a piesňach plemien slovanských /On National Myths and Songs of Slavic Nations/. In addition to that, some of the characteristic features of Francisci´s poems are confronted with the similar features present in the poetry of other Romantic poets. The analysis of Francisci´s poems and their confrontation with Štúr´s ideas as well as the list of conventional means of expression used in the poetry of the particular period make the author of the study conclude that in spite of fulfilling Štúr´s requirements and following the fast-spreading conventions, Francisci´s works also contain strictly individual layers which incline towards what was officially rejected – individual feelings, personal sadness, sentiment, being in love, Romantic contempt for the world and some elements of Messianist nature.

The author gives a survey of Ľ. Štúr’s youth. Štúr was the leading personality in the Slovak national liberation movement, as well as the leader in the formation of the new patriotic generation in the second half of the 1830s. The author investigates the social and political atmosphere which characterized the Habsburg Monarchy at that time. It was under the strong influence of revolutionary Young Europe, Polish enthusiasm and the activities of Polish and other Slavonic associations in Vienna. The author shows how they influenced Slovak students at the Bratislava secondary school which subsequently became the centre of the Slovak national movement. At the end of the 30s these young people discussed basic problems and were looking for solutions, which took place in the following decades. Special attention has been given to the idea of Slavonic mutual cooperation within the Monarchy, which found its reflection in the Slovak national revival.

The article investigates the relationship between literary aesthetic opinions of Ľudovít Štúr (1815 – 1856) presented in his lectures in the early 1840s and the poetics of Andrej Sládkovič’s (1820 – 1872) Detvan (1846, published in book form in 1853). The article offers an interpretation of the poem through the prism of the topics, motives and poetic devices that might suggest that Sládkovič was acquainted with Štúr’s theoretical work and consciously attempted at a realisation of Štúr’s idea of Slavic poetry. The reading presented in the article pinpoints the latent dramatic potential of Sládkovič’s poem that is coded in its performative elements. Discussing the poem as belonging to the genre of dramatic poetry is justified by such typological characteristics as a syncretism of its lyric and epic parts and an increased level of performativity. Detvan as a dramatic poem is discussed in the wider context of Sládkovič’s literary aesthetic views and those of his activities that are linked with dramatic art.

The goal of this paper includes (1) interpretation of the part of Štúr ´s intellectual world, which is related to justification of the necessity of a literary Slovak language and, (2) related interpretation of today awareness of Slovak identity. Štúr strengthened this awareness at the level of system rationality and decisively contributed to the fact that the self-identification instinct of Slovaks gained a solid rational support and the Slovak identity was cultivated on a convincing intellectual basis. Nowadays, the Slovak identity has already been reproducing naturally. The naturally reproduced awareness of identity as well as the self-identification instinct of Slovaks as the origin of this awareness has been stimulated by an intensive intercultural interaction esp. within the European Union, which is compatible with its cultural strategy aimed at preservation of EU cultural diversity.

The study analyses the structural elements of the story of the visit of Štúr and two of his followers to the poet Ján Hollý. The meeting of representatives of the Protestant and Catholic intelligentsia in 1843 was a key moment in the Slovak national historical narrative. It symbolizes national unity overcoming confessional limitations. The author studies this story as part of the nationalist repertoire, pointing to its use for the needs of national ideology.

The article discusses the image of Ľudovít Štúr portrayed in history textbooks used in elementary and high schools in Slovakia during three different political regimes in the period of 1918 – 1989. Štúr was a prominent nineteenth century Slovak politician, journalist and a principle organizer of the Slovak national movement. He was also the initiator of the codification of the Slovak language and coordinator of voluntary Slovak campaigns against Hungarian rule in Upper Hungary during the 1848–49 revolutions in the Habsburg Monarchy. He has been considered an iconic figure of Slovak history, and thus the interpretation of his life and work, as well as the deeds of his closest collaborators – in Slovak historiography commonly referred to as the third generation of the Slovak national movement – became one of the key narratives in Slovak history textbooks. Yet, since history textbooks are part of the official historiography and, as such, are intended to pass on the values of current political elites onto subsequent generations, the narratives in them have been influenced by different political regimes and by different ideological needs and constrains. The author presents the changing perspectives on the historical importance of Ľudovít Štúr in history textbooks published in the interwar Czechoslovak Republic (1918 – 1938), during the independent WWII Slovak Republic (1939 – 1945) and, finally, during the times when Czechoslovakia was under the rule of the Communist Party (1948 – 1989) in the contexts of the official ideologies, mainstream social and political worldviews and values promoted during the respective periods. The interpretations of the historical importance of Ľudovít Štúr and his generation, and their simplified and rather schematic presentation in history textbooks have been characterized by selectiveness stemming from attempts to implement different ideologies. Yet, in each of the above-mentioned periods, the general image of Ľudovít Štúr was that of a hero, such as in Thomas Carlyle’s nineteenth century concept of great men moving the historical development.

This essay tries to analyse the ‘Slav idea’, the structure of ‘Slavic thought’ of Ľudovít Štúr, and to explain why it was an attractive ideological option for him. Štúr’s Das Slawenthum und die Welt der Zukunft is seen as more or less a natural continuation of his life-long ideological tendencies. But it is also argued that Štúr can be seen as a man with ‘two souls’ in his political personality. On the one hand, his activities were part of the Slav and Central European struggle for national emancipation, social reform, and democratic rights. On the other hand, many of his writings were marked by a belief in the special character and historical mission of the Slavs, and of the Slovaks and the Russians in particular. His All-Slav ideas were reinforced by the influence of Russian Slavophiles and Pan-Slavists, furthering the conviction that Slav political unity was to be implemented under Russian leadership. The Slovaks were seen as having remained linguistically closest to the original Slavs living in the Pannonian homeland and, therefore, as a special Slav group. Russia was seen as the political centre that was needed to unite the Slavs and to confer on them the leading historical role that Herder and Kollár had foreseen they would play. Meanwhile the values of democracy, equality, and other European ideals retreated to the margins. Aside from preserving the ‘old Slav village community’ as a model of social justice, the Slav idea was incapable of producing any remarkable social or political ideas. Instead it idealised Tsarist autocracy and the Orthodox Church as a conservative alternative to modern Europe.

The article deals with the prepositions z, zo and s, so and particle zo in the literary Slovak language since Bernolák’s codification at the end of the 18th century to The Rules of the Slovak Orthography published in 1953. The rules of using prepositions and particle in that time were different (phonetic-phonological principle, grammatical principle, etymological principle with semantic criteria), because of existing historical, social and language situation. Štúr’s codification (1846) was progressive approach, which did not accept Bernolák’s phonetic-phonological principle and also orthographical tradition and continuity with the pre-literary period (etymological principle in Slovak and Czech). M. Hattala in his work Mluvnica jazyka slovenského (1864) did not accept Štúr’s grammatical principle and followed tradition and continuity with Czech. Etymological principle was dominated in Slovak orthography up to the first half of the 20th century (Rukoväť spisovnej reči slovenskej, 1902 – 1919, The Rules of the Slovak Orthography, 1931, 1940). From the point of view of language and orthography development it was necessary to accept Bartek’s unsuccessful proposal from the end of the 30th years of the 20th century (The Rules of the Slovak Orthography, 1939; which preferred Štúr’s grammatical principle) in The Rules of the Slovak Orthography published in 1953.
