Description The author of the present article deals with the general features and function of the Renaissance in Slavonic literatures and in the Central European cultural area. The starting point of the explication consists in the conception of literary currents or streams in which Renaissance as such has a specific position containing its syncretic character associating Renaissance, humanism, Reformation, Counter-Reformation, various stages of Renaissance and early and mature Baroque art as well as the role of churches including, seemingly surprising of the Orthodox Church. The Renaissance functions as a cultural bridge connecting the late Gothic and Baroque periods, i. e. the Middle Ages and Modern Period of history. The anomalous character of weak, dispersed, defocused, rather blurred Slavonic and Central European Renaissance with a specific evolutionary trajectory substantiates our concept of prae-post effect|/paradox which opens up the side window leading to more or less radical poetological innovations. The study contains the references, descriptions, interpretations of and the approaches to the related concepts of Nikolay Berdyaev, Vadim Kozhinov, Dmytro Chyzhevsky, Nikolay Konrad, Igor Smirnov, Roman Mnich, Wylie Sypher, Galin Tihanov, František Kautman as well as the respected specialists in the Renaissance in general and Slovak Renaissance in particular.
