Slovak literature have been developing in close contact with literatures of the neighbouring regions. Slovak ethnics pace has been a natural part of both former Austro-Hungarian Empire (and Hungary as well) and a broader Central Europe. The Slovak literary canon has been formed by the authors using different languages (Latin, Czech, German, Slovak and Hungarian). At present, Slovak literature can be understood as literature by the authors with the Slovak background or written by the authors who have been living and working on the territory of current Slovakia. The nature of Slovak literature, however, was considerably influenced by other Slavic literatures and a hidden common culture consciousness. It can be argued that since the beginning of the 19th century the Slovak literary canon started to develop as a new, dynamic and autonomous structure within Slavic, Czechoslovak and Hungarian contexts.
