K recepcii diela H. Ch. Andersena a jej výskumu v Dánsku a vo svete
On the Reception of H. Ch. Andersen’s Works and its Research in Denmark and in the World

Summary/Abstract: Research on Hans Christian Andersen represents an extensive field of scholarly interest. It includes not only reception research, but also text interpretation, biographical studies, etc. As for the individual national research, the situation changes from country to country: the early English translation reception was studied by E. Bredsdorff and V. Hjørnager-Pedersen, the early German reception by I. Y. Møller-Christensen, the French one by P. Høybye, the Polish one by Z. Brzozowska. With regard to reception research, a significant role has been played by the Anderseniana journal, in which many partial research outcomes have been published. As for the domestic Danish reception, it has not been processed so far. Nevertheless, there are works covering the early reception of fairy tales (E. Nielsen) as well as critical reception in the form of reviews (M. Brønsted). Slovak reception of H. Ch. Andersen’s works developed in the context of the rising international recognition of the author, whose novel The Improvisatore brought him success in the German-speaking area in the 1830s and later also among Russian, English and French critics and readers. In the 1840s, first translations started to appear also in Czech and Polish periodicals and in the next decade they were followed by translations of Andersen’s first novel into both languages. The Czech translation also played a mediating role in the Slovak reception of Andersen’s work. However, while the early translation reception of the author in many language areas is associated with the novel genre, the first phases of Slovak reception process are based on his tales only.
