Král', Janko

    0.01 sec.

Král', Janko (1822–1876)

Slovak poet and radical nationalist. A passionate advocate of pan-Slavism, during the revolutions of 1848 he participated in a Slovak uprising against the kingdom of Hungary, of which Slovakia was then a part. His most successful poems are folk-style ballads, such as those in the collection Orol/The Eagle 1845, which are characterized by their rich vocabulary and vivid imagery.

Král' belonged to the Štúr school of romantic nationalism, but his prose looks forward to naturalism and expressionism.
