Three cainds of the Czech Naturalism (prose)
KLEWAROVÁ, Adéla
The thesis deals with selected works of prose written by Karel Matěj Čapek-Chod (Kašpar Lén mstitel), Josef Merhaut (Vrah?) and Josef Karel Šlejhar (Dojmy z přírody a společnosti). In the first section of the thesis the authors are briefly introduced, with focus on the circumstances surrounding the publication and reception of their works. The core of the thesis is analytical and interpretative, i.e. the texts are analysed in terms of their themes, motifs, semantics and poetics. They are also compared and contrasted with Émile Zola's essays and novels. The thesis aims to identify how the texts correlate with naturalism - to what extent they might be considered naturalistic and whether they correspond to the core variant of Zola's naturalism. If there is such a connection, the thesis seeks to explain how it was achieved. The thesis is based on a number of resources, both printed (reference books of literary history, lexicography, etc.) and online (caslin, retrobi).
