Annotation
M. Haugová is a key author in the canon of modern Slovak literature and also the most translated Slovak poet and author of poetry translations (S. Plath, P. Celan, G. Trakl, I. Bachmann, S. Kirsch, J. Wright, A. Sexton and others). In her poetry collections, she mainly follows the so-called confessional poetry, experimental writing in the modernist and postmodern line of unconventional poetry and 20th-century philosophy. The dissertation will focus on her post-2000 poetic output, to capture its developmental tendencies through categories such as spirituality, erotic motifs, transformations of the lyric heroine, forms and sources of intertextuality, diaries, fragments, and so on. Because of its relations with non-national poetry, the thesis makes room for penetrations into the comparatistics and translatology of the fictional text.
