Between Knowledge and Imagination (Travelogues in Literature of Czech National Revival)
FAKTOROVÁ, Veronika
The study surveys the variety of travel literature in the period of Czech National Revival. It explores travelogues in contemporary book production, as well as in magazines and journals in the 1810s-1840s. Contemporary travel books appear to be opened to various discourses, for example science, philosophy, ideological and literary discourses. In consequence, travel literature could{\crq}ve develop in many forms with different functions or eventually the functions could blend together in a text. The study is focused on various movements and changes of travelogues, namely between fictional and non-fictional writing, and between popularity and art exclusiveness. Most of all, attention is dedicated to the imaginative possibilities of the genre. The specific imagination of the travelogues constituted in the tension of various poetics and styles and reflected their significant expressions and stylistic features. In this aspect, romanticism was of great importance to literary voyages. The analysis of original works, as well as of translated and foreign texts, has lead to questioning of the concept of national literature as single entity and in result to the idea that contemporary literature should be included in supranational context.
