Summary/Abstract: The study deals with Ján Kollár’s oeuvre in the light of the classicist and romantic tendencies of national cultures in Central Europe. The first part of the study addresses the place of Kollar’s work within the canon of Classicism and/or Romanticism. The study states a significant difference between the Czech and Slovak reception of Kollár’s work, which results from their inherent differencies. To evaluate the relevance of these questions today the study applies the methodology of postmodern and postcolonial cultural theory. The second part of the paper suggests a new perspective on Kollár’s work – namely from the viewpoint of the Latin and Neo-Latin culture in Hungary in the 18th end 19th century.
