Abstract
The authors analyze the life, activities and views of an unfairly forgotten person in Slovak cultural history: Samuel Ferjenčík, priest, writer, publicist, meteorologist, pomologist, friend of J. Kollar and acquaintance of I.V. Goethe. The article examines his personality in the aspect of the contemporary cultural context. The authors’ attention is also focused on the controversial aspects of his life, namely on his participation in the dispute about the Štúr›s variant of the literary Slovak language, on his speech against the manifesto of J.M. Hurban “Brothers Slovaks” and on his activities during the Slovak National Uprising of 1848–1849. The authors strive for a fair assessment of his views, taking into account the value diversity of the contemporary cultural elite and generational specifics.
