Dobrovský's Czech prosody in the context of contemporary poetry studies
Dobiáš, Dalibor
The reform of Czech verse by Slavist Josef Dobrovský (Böhmische Prosodie, 1795) represents a milestone in new Czech prosody. The focus of this work is placed on the interpretation of relevant poetological discourse of the end of the 18th and the beginning of the 19th century and on processes, by which the new Czech prosody formed, in relation to older local literature of the 18th century and the current European context. In this way, the ideas, ambiguities and even paradoxes in his writings on prosody portrait J. Dobrovský not only as an original and important thinker who influenced modern Czech poetry, but also as a person who intensively reflected and interpreted contemporary Central European literary and social discourse. As a contrast to J. Dobrovský’s "adaptational" reform, the submitted work presents the literary and poetological work by Václav Stach and Stach's early romantic historicism.
