The interest in Black Romanticism has been experiencing a kind of renaissance in the last years. Black Romanticism is no longer seen as just one of the Romantic movements. Its connection to the particular historical moment is becoming looser and looser and the set of its distinctive features, which can be easily recognized, makes it possible to see it as the sui generis category. The increasing number of various scientific works confirms the fact that in the case of fascination by the mysterious, unchained and dark side of being we face a weightier phenomenon than just a fashion in culture. The Black Romanticism category enables to grasp and reveal a number of cultural, literary and linguistic phenomena which have been resistant to all the attempts to systematize Slovak artistic production stemming from the spiritual and aesthetical atmosphere of Romanticism. The material of the Slovak resources makes it possible to almost completely reconstruct the Imaginarium of Black Romanticism including the vampires, who inhabit it, the frenetic concept of man, the demonic face of nature and history, the Gothic scenery, the original evil principle, which has infected the world, the inexpressibility problem and the subsequent language experiment, the artistic outsidership or weird folkiness.

The images of the world created in the consciousness of the „revolution“ generation (of the years 1830 and 1848) and the „war“ generation (of the years 1914 -1918) had a few elements in common. The goal of the article is to show how the legacy of „Black“ Romanticism of the 1920s made it possible to communicate the trauma caused by World War I. The first part of the article therefore presents World War I from the perspective of social history. The author uses a monograph by the American historian Eric J. Leed. Then she suggests that certain frequent literary motifs might be related to the way how World War I was waged. The second part of the article interprets the war proses written by the Slovak writer Ján Hrušovský (1892-1975) in the 1920s and offers four „images“ which are his „insight“ into the physical world as well as metaphysical reality.
