Friedlová, Maria ; Topor, Michal (advisor) ; Merhautová, Lucie (referee)
(in English): This bachelor's thesis aims to provide an introduction of Elsa Goller regarding her relationship with the Czech poet Julius Zeyer. The thesis is primarily based on their extensive correspondence deposited in the Literary Archive of the Museum of Czech Literature; another helpful source of information is represented by a thorough and detailed file including not only cuttings of Goller's texts (such as articles and translations), but also historical texts about her. In the thesis, special attention is devoted to the part of Goller's journalistic and translation work concentrated in the old Bohemian daily, the Politik (or the Union). In this very daily, most her translations of Zeyer's works were published. By Zeyer and Goller's multilingual correspondence, not only their long-lasting friendship, but also their translation cooperation is revealed. To provide a better understanding of their relationship, a wide look suggesting Zeyer's attitude towards women is taken, as well as the outline of the situation and social status of women translators towards the end of the 19th century is depicted.
