Analytic psychological and selfreflexive novel of 30th and 40th in 20th century Czech literature
VESELÁ, Markéta
My thesis aims to outline the reception of psychological-analytical and self-reflective prose of the 1930s and 1940s. The initial theoretical part deals with the work of F. Vodička and H.R. Jauss. Their approach to the history of literature, based on reception, provides the basis for the second part of my thesis: the practical part. The practical part is divided into four chapters, each dealing with a different historical context influencing the perception of literature. The chapters are: 1930s and 1940s, 1948-1968, 1968-1989 and 1989 ? present. The first chapter defines a group of literary works. We shall observe reactions to these works as they change over time due to changes in the ideological and esthetical climate. We shall consider not only critiques and recensions, but handbooks of literary history as well. The reactions to the selected works create an image of the perception in the given period, which is summarized at the end of each chapter. The conclusion of my thesis contains an overview of the reception of the individual literary works from their date of publishing up to the present day. We can observe changes in perception and zero reflection of some works and authors as well as the uncritical glorification of others. The conclusion shows how strongly the historical context affects the perception of literature.
