Leopold Mazáč – Man in the Background

Reflections on his Publishing Activities in Slovakia

Summary/Abstract: The paper focuses on selected journalistic texts, offering a demonstration of several period-specific ways of reflecting on and evaluating certain aspects of the publishing activities of Leopold Mazáč. It pays attention to an aspect of his collaboration with the editor and poet Ján Smrek and touches upon various reactions to the publication of the anthologies Zborník mladej slovenskej literatúry (An Anthology of Early Slovak Literature, 1924) and Slovenská prítomnosť literárna a umelecká (The Slovak Literary and Artistic Presence, 1931). The beginnings of the publication of the journal Elán are also mentioned. The paper is a reminder of an interwar personality who was openly involved in but also in the background of the post-revolutionary socio-cultural development in Slovakia.
