Poetry of Ludvík Kundera
Hubená, Ester ; Bílek, Petr (advisor) ; Wiendl, Jan (referee)
The thesis focuses on the poetry of Ludvík Kundera. It introduces his work in chronological order and within the contemporary literary-historical framework. The analysis and the interpretation of his early poems often refer to the war period. Language and its potentiality are a main concern in Kundera's other work. His poetry is defined in the context of avant-garde modern art: surrealism, dadaism and expressionism. The thesis researches the impact of Brecht's poetics on Kundera, too. It also introduces the persona of the artist, who significantly contributed to forming the Czech literary field during the second half of the 20th century. Kundera's poetry relates to Czech and foreign artists and their works. The poems rise from ordinary occasions, as well as showing the poet's intertextual approach. Experimentation, wordplay, lyrical humour and irony are an inherent part of Ludvík Kundera's work.

The Mácha-like lineage of Czech lyrical poetry
Křivánek, Vladimír
Mácha founded a tradition of deep meditative lyrical poetry in the New Czech literature. This poetry aspires towards transcendency and understands human existence as ambivalent, both beautiful and painful, stretched between the sensual and spiritual worlds, between the physical and supersubstantial, between heaven and Earth. Mácha's influence entered the poetry of his followers in various ways, initially via admiring poems dedicated to him. Such poems, often stating a particular programme, identify with Mácha-like gestures to a varying extent, and they present Mácha as the prototype of a modern poet. Mácha's work gradually revealed its miraculous inspirational potential in a series of works of poetry and it entered the verses of many Czech poets in all the layers of poetic form. The dark reflective poets with a tragic perception of life and pervaded by melancholy represent the main line of the Mácha-like lineage.
