Michálková, Gabriela ; Čeňková, Jana (advisor) ; Malý, Radek (referee)
The aim of this bachelor's thesis is the analysis and comparison of critical response to the poetical work of Josef Hanzlík from the time period 1961-1967. These responses were published mostly in culturally or directly literary focused period press. The period and literary context also precedes the analysis. In the first chapter, the author briefly introduces the poet's life, then the literary and historical context of his work (the characteristics of the time period and its literary environment) and lastly the themes and the most frequently used motifs of Hanzlík's poetry. The second chapter deals with the term of "literary criticism", summarizes the evolution of literary criticism in the Czech environment of the 1960s, and the third one presents selected period press used in the thesis. The last chapter which forms a major part of this thesis, is dedicated to the analysis of critical responses. The author first shortly introduces the sources. She continues with the analysis of poetry collections with an emphasis on the opinions of individual literary critics. She then compares their critical attitudes and also observes the changes in their approach to the progression of the poet's work over the years.

Functions, Media, Archives.
