Literary texts can be understood as a media of collective memory; through selection, reconstruction, and updating of chosen topoi, images, or personalities in the context of memory studies. They perform such functions as forming the understanding of the past, transfer of historical images, construction of memory relations, or reflection of the processes and problems of collective memory. In this sense, literature forms collective images of the development and meaning of past events, eminent personalities of the past, interprets the present, and projects the future. Moreover, for an understanding the symbolic meaning of the elements for which Pierre Nora coined the term places of memory and Jan Assmann conceptualised as figures of memory, processes of reception and context are also crucial. This theoretical background determines also the approach to literary and literary-journalistic texts related to representatives of Slovak literary Romanticism born in 1822 (Ján Francisci, Janko Kráľ, Ján Kalinčiak, Ján Palárik, Štefan Marko Daxner, and Peter Michal Bohúň) and – in the case of Andrej Sládkovič, in 1820. This group formed a strong national revivalist generation whose literary representations provide all three types of collective memory identified by J. Assmann: communicative, cultural, and political.

The paper discusses the issue of literary representations in the pre-critical period, represented here by selected poetological concepts, exemplified by fourtexts of the period: Book X of Platos The Republic, Aristotles Poetics, Horaces Ars poetica, and the mediaeval treatise by Geoffrey of Vinsauf Poetria nova. The aim of the study is to demonstrate the change in the understanding of the so-called content complexes of a literary work, which form the historical grounds for contemporary terms, including literary theme, motif, artistic representation, as well as the issue of fiction and reality.
