The Occasional Verse of Bohuslav Tablic

Summary/Abstract: The author presents the Slovak Revival poet and translator Bohuslav Tablic (1769–1832) in Czech -Slovak literary contexts. He draws attention to Tablic’s published works in Antonín Jaroslav Puchmajer’s almanacs and Josef Jungmann’s Slovesnost (Literature). He points out that Tablic’s occasional verse remains neglected by readers. The author identifi es individual typological groups in Tablic’s occasional verse, based on the reasons for it having been written, identifying Tablic’s verse for the dead, for weddings, birthdays, and prefaces, celebrating the commencement of a new job, and events important to the nation, the Church, and schools. The article presents Tablic as a poet whose occasional verse came to terms with the relics of the Baroque, the lasciviousness of Rococo, and the impetuses of Enlightenment Neo- -Classicism.
