Specification:
Janko Matúška (10. 1. 1821 – 11. 1. 1877) – poet from the generation of Štúr's followers. He came from a noble family from Orava. During his studies at the evangelical grammar school in Bratislava, he joined the activities of Štúr's group. He wrote poems, but was also attracted to historical themes, ballads, verse legends, and drama. He became famous for composing the lyrics of a song in a moment of indignation over the dismissal of Ľudovít Štúr from his teaching position, which became the national anthem of the Slovak Republic in the 20th century. After finishing his studies, he worked in state services in his native Orava. From 1851 to 1870, he was a government official up to the position of manager of the County Court Office in Dolný Kubín. In 1848, he was among the local organizers of the revolution. In 1849, he had to hide in the mountains, where he fell ill. Health problems accompanied him until the end of his life and were the reason for his retirement. His work, although modest in scope, belongs to the Golden Fund of Slovak romantic literature.
