Baudelaire's personal writings (diaries and correspondence)
DUCHOŇOVÁ, Ivana
The aim of this thesis is to analyze published texts of personal nature of Charles Baudelaire, an important poet of the 19th century, whom we rank among the so-called Cursed Poets. We focus on the texts of the author's diaries and correspondence, in which we analyze important motifs and subsequently observe how it is reflected in his poetic work, especially in the collection of the Flowers of Evil. In this work, we first introduce the author's biography and literary work together with published texts of personal nature, then we focus on the essential part of this work, which are the topics in the aforementioned diaries and correspondence together with their reflection in the author's poetic work. The results of this analysis are summarized in the very conclusion of the thesis.

Jan Adolf of Schwarzenberg and his Correspondence in Spanish
KŘÍŽ, Ondřej
The presented diploma thesis focuses on analyzing Spanish correspondence written by Jan Adolf of Schwarzenberg (1615-1683) between 1647 and 1683. The correspondence has yet to be thoroughly explored and is deposited in the State Regional Archive in Třeboň, the department of Český Krumlov - Rodinný archiv Schwarzenberků. Through a content analysis, the author tries to explore the relationship between Jan Adolf of Schwarzenberg and people of a different social status with whom the count had established a written communication; i.e. the author makes an effort to reconstruct the communication network of the baroque nobleman and examine the content of the letters. The author also suggests the typology of Spanish Schwarzenberg participants of the communication, who were divided into Habsburg family members, emperor's emissaries in Madrid, courtiers of Madrid, Spanish emissaries in Vienna, individuals working in the Spanish Netherlands, clerics and agents.

Martyrs of Silence
Čiháková, Barbora
This contribution builds on Jan lopatka’s thesis that there is a connection between Jakub Deml and Jan Hanč. It describes various resonances between the respective poetics of the two authors and also reflects on their differing approaches and assumptions, which to some extent can be traced back to differences in historical context. In conclusion the study points out that the authors’ respective works are essentially guided by the same principle of composition, namely the idea of being engaged in writing a single, continuous and unified book.

Staňková, Vladimíra ; Iwashita, Daniela (advisor) ; Wiendl, Jan (referee)
The thesis contains an annotated edition of the letters of Jakub Deml (1878-1961) of his long- time friend and writer Jaroslav Durych (1886-1962). More than 150 letters and dozens of postcards document the relationship between the two writers in two periods (years 1906-1909 and 1916-1959). The first era of correspondence documents their translation cooperation and own production and views on contemporary literary and social conditions as well. The literary studies connected to the edition also describes two major differences between these creators. In the second period was the most intense correspondence in the twenties of the 20th century. The authors worked closely together and share in the correspondence also events of their personal lives. In 1931 My testimony about Otokar Březina caused a split among friends. Then the correspondence has never fully restored. The dispute was then moved to the pages of periodicals and books, about which one of the chapters of the study inform. The edition is accompanied by editorial comment, an inventory sheet, an index of names and explanations, in which the reader reads some of Durych's reactions and learn other relevant circumstances correspondence.
