Although Pavol Országh Hviezdoslav (1849 – 1921) is probably the most well-known classic of Slovak literature, his work has not been researched in its entire complexity. The article offers an overview of literature on his work and discusses the differences between methodologically sound scholarship – including interpretations of Hviezdoslav’s work – and superficial affirmative biographies and compositional, structuralist versological, semantic and form-centred analyses. From the comparatist point of view, it addresses his early work in Hungarian and German, but also points to his literary criticism, dramatic works, and structured character of his poetics and the high artistic artifice of his depictive and expressive method. The article concludes with a set of topics and research areas which have not been sufficiently addressed and hopes to elicit more scholarly attention in them.
