Summary/Abstract: The paper, New Historicism in the Slovak Literary Context, aims to characterize literary movements and map significant personalities and studies that contributed to the new cultural orientation in literary scholarship. In the late 60s and early 70s, Slovak writers used their works to respond to the transformations in the Slovak society and culture. The main goal of this paper is to characterize New Historicism and to provide an interpretation of ‘Cycle of Palánkʼ by Ladislav Ballek that explores human stories at a particular time and place.
