The Prague Legends in the Poems of Sebestian Hnevkovsky
 Vítová, Andrea
The gripping stories of the old-Prague legends inhabited by supernatural beings and bringing moral advice, gave to the balladic poems of Sebestian Hnevkovsky, the autor of the Enlightment period, a suitable base for the travestying interpretations satirically focused on the contemporary society.\nThe tales of the princess Drahomira or of the ”devil´s“ obelisk at Vyšehrad, composed by Hnevkovsky in the early 19th century (i. e. in the epoch of the Puchmajer´s anthologies) were focused on the ordinary city people. The content reminding of the well-known stories and the simple way of narration enabled the author to fulfil his intention: to address a wide audience of readers and to amuse them. In his later works from the 1840s Hnevkovsky inclined namely to the genre of historical legend and to the romantic aspects of the Prague legends. However, even in this later poems (Šemík or Podvyšehradská hlubina) he didn´t give up the methods and motives characteristic for the haunted tales from the early 19th century that attracted attention of readers.
