SLOVENSKÁ LITERATÚRA A LITERÁRNY ŽIVOT V MAĎARSKOM MEDZIVOJNOVOM LEXIKÓNE

The paper deals with two items (entry) of the interwar Hungarian lexicon for literature: the first item focused on the Slovak literature, the second item focused on the Hungarian literature in Czechoslovakia. The editor of lexicon was well-known Hungarian historian of literature, Marcell Benedek. The author of Slovak item was Juraj Podhradský, who was the civil servant of Hungarian public administration with Slovak origin. In spite of the old terminology, from the item about the Slovak literature is missing the Hungarian stereotypes about the Slovaks and Slovak literature.
