Michal Žilinský as the administrator and functionary of the Slovak Teaching Society in the Hungarian Kingdom (MTKE)

Summary/Abstract: Michal Žilinský was a representative of Hungarian historiography and political sce¬ne during the dualistic period in the Hungarian imperium. Originally he was a lowland Slovakian who adhered dual identity – Hungarian and in certain lifelong situations Slovakian. He wrote his historical works, propagative works and textbooks in Hungarian language. He was a member of Matica slovenská, but his name is rather connected with the creation of Hungarian-Regional Slovak Educational Alliance in Budapest. As a historian he was a member of several associations, including Hungarian Academy of Science. After pedagogi¬cal working at a grammar school in Sarvaš he had become a deputy of The Liberal Party, main lord lieutenant at first in Čongrád and later in the Zvolen county. His career culmi¬nated in the status as a state clerk of the ministry of culture. Moreover he was a significant functionary of evangelical church in Hungarian imperium (evangelical church´s general supervisor). Basic points of analyse were all above: his social and political life, his activities between official Hungarian politics of dualistic period and Slovakian´s nationally emanci¬patory attitudes. Essential contribution of this work is an extended heuristic basis, which provides detachment of reached conclusions in bigger certainty.
