The paper is a short characteristics of the development of Slovak comparative literary studies. It focuses on the methodological principles of the 1960s and 1970s as they were established by Dionýz Ďurišin mainly under the influence of Russian formalists and Jan Mukařovský. It is important to note that in Slovakia the development of an autonomous discipline was not the main concern. Slovak literary studies were rather interested in an integral combination of historical and critical concepts with the focus on the needs of the national literature. In such an interdisciplinary space, which is also open in the future in the sense of welcome revival, the reception activity of Slovak scholars is still flourishing, based on a multidimensional research of interliterary relations.
