Summary/Abstract: Occasional poetry is an important part of literary production by Bohuslav Tablic (1769 –1832). It was reflected on by the literary historian Rudo Brtáň (1907 – 1998) in his worksfocused on literature written at the turn of the 19th century or in his monograph BohuslavTablic (1769 – 1832). Život a dielo/Bohuslav Tablic (1769 – 1832). Life and Work publishedin 1974. He did not exclude the occasional poetry as a peculiar or even inferior groupof writings without a notable message but he attributed it an important function and asignificant role in forming the poetic profile of Bohuslav Tablic as well as Slovak literatureof that time. The synthesis of Brtáň´s assessments of B. Tablic´s occasional poetryalong with the results of the contemporary analyses of individual poetic texts form thebasis for this paper that concentrates on defining the development of Tablic´s poeticmeans of expression in this particular type of poetic production featuring a distinctupdating dimension, where the up-to-date nature alone was a guarantee of certainattractiveness. Although the results of the contemporary research make it necessary toreassess some of R. Brtáň´s conclusions, several of his findings, especially the startingposition of respect for occasional poetry, remain an important impulse for furtherliterary historical analyses and interpretations of Tablic´s work as a whole.
