The Slovak literature and the literature of the Hungarian minority in the interwar Hungarian lexicon

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 wellknown Hungarian historian of literature, Marcell Benedek. The author of Slovak item was Juraj Podhradsky, who was the civil servant of Hungarian public administration with Slovak origin. Inspite of the old terminology, from the item about the Slovak literature are missing the Hungarian stereotypes about the Slovaks and Slovak literature.
