Order and Ideology in the Czech Drama of the 20th century
Janoušek, Pavel
Drama is comprehended here as a literary genre substantially linked with a generally obligatory form of transcendence, i.e. with the faith in a natural Order (be it God, Universe, Truth, Tradition, Custom or a superindividual Principle of History). The Czech drama of the 20th century (especially of its second half) has provided examples of ways and devices employed by the playwrights trying to find support in an order of this kind.
