Some Unknown Březina-Related Manuscripts in the Jakub Deml fund in the LA MCL in Prague
Iwashita, Daniela ; Kořínková, Šárka
Otokar Březina, both as a man and a subject, belongs among the central constants of Deml’s entire work. In spite of this, however, Deml’s Březina-related manuscripts have not yet undergone proper examination. This article reports on the authors’ research into Deml’s texts on Březina which had to be retrieved, identified and reconstructed from eight mislabelled and disorganized boxes in the Jakub Deml fund in the Literary Archive of the MCL. The entire collection of manuscripts compiled includes two further boxes of material labelled as “fragments of My Testimony about Otokar Březina”. The authors therefore succeeded in assembling almost the entire manuscript of My Testimony (representing 97% of the approximately 1,000 numbered pages). Both the manuscript structure and parts of the typeset proofs testify to the gradual genesis of the book in four separate sections, and also throw light on the significance of certain changes (e.g. that the integrative as well as subversive part of the work – namely the marginal commentary – came into being only after the printing of the manuscript). Further, the authors managed to identify five bigger fragments of Deml’s unpublished lectures from the years 1929 to 1942. Above all, the article discusses the text of a lecture (59 preserved pages) given by Deml in Velké Meziříčí in 1929, which at the time caused considerable scandal and led to Deml being prosecuted for lèse-majesté against the then Czechoslovak President, until now it had been known only from secondary sources and citations. From the manuscript of the lecture it is clear that Deml had cited not only Březina’s criticism of Masaryk’s philosophy but also his praise of the President’s moral leadership while in office. At the same time the lecture represents the very first version of Deml’s conclusion to My Testimony about Otokar Březina. Two other significant fragments are: first, a fragment (83 preserved pages) of a three-hour lecture, given by Deml in Brno in 1931 and dealing with Otokar Březina’s life and philosophy, and, second, a fragment from 1942 which discusses, among other things, the significance of contradictory statements in Březina’s conversations and letters, which, according to Deml, Březina himself did not consider an integral part of his work.

The One Book of Jakub Deml, Bedřich Fučík and Vladimír Binar
Iwashita, Daniela
This contribution reviews, and reflects on, the idea of a single, unified book and other metaphors of holistic work (the work as a tree, the Tasov landscape, the Oslava river) which constantly recur in Deml’s writings: what can they mean for the reader and the editors of his work today? The contributor focuses on a solution worked out and justified by Bedřich Fučík and Vladimír Binar in the samizdat edition of The Work of Jakub Deml (13 volumes, VBF Manuscripts, Prague 1978–1983) and in the accompanying Report on the Compilation of the Work of Jakub Deml (VBF Manuscripts, Prague 1981). The contributor reviews the well-known shortcomings of The Work, especially its reduction of a number of texts, but notes with approval its organizing principles which correspond to Deml’s own approach to writing and publication: such as the pursuit of cyclical chronology; the recognition of the central, recurrent books; the organization of individual volumes along generic lines; the readerly and artistic character of the books. The contribution goes on to identify the editorial measures and procedures established by The Work editors which are equally valid for us today: such as the need for detailed mapping of Deml’s editorial and publishing practices; the need to respect and privilege the author’s will; the need for compilation and publication of all bibliography (including contributions to journals and magazines); the need for the widest possible research into extant manuscripts and correspondence (today this applies above all to the ordering and detailed description of a part of Deml’s writings deposited in the Literary Archive of The Museum of Czech Literature in Prague, which comprises thousands of mixed-up pages from manuscripts of various books, including Forgotten Light); further, the need for mapping Deml’s publishing notices and leaflets; the publication of a detailed schedule of all his writings, and, last but not least, the willingness to accept external review and criticism. In conclusion the contributor proposes a solution for the future: the publication of a hybrid edition which would consist of an electronic critical edition (including an archive of all extant versions together with instruments for their comparison) in parallel with a readerly publication of Deml’s work in book format which would be based on texts in the critical edition and organized roughly in accordance with the principles and overall conception of Fučík’s and Binar’s samizdat Work, even if significantly extended.
