The Representation of the Svojanov castle in the 19th and 20th Century Czech Literature
URBÁNKOVÁ, Soňa
The small town of Svojanov, dominated by a medieval castle, has become an inspiration for many authors, prose writers, and poets. The first references to Svojanov can be found at the time of the National Revival, and this literary tradition continues to the present time. The aim of this work is to document all available texts in which the literary image of the place was developed during the 19th and 20th centuries. In particular, the genres in which the given image was applied and how it changed in the context of contemporary literary discourses (emphasis will be placed on the dominant discourses of 19th-century romanticism, parnasism, realism). The available electronic resources (Caslin catalog, Retrobi database, ) will be used for the research and the resulting text will be provided to the Svojanov castle administration.

Julius Zeyer: The Adventure of Madrana
HROMÁDKOVÁ, Tereza
In the first part, this paper examines publishing and reception of the work The Adventure of Madrana since its first publication until the end of World War 2, i. e. until 1945. An attention is aimed to five existing articles written by the authors of that period, which occurred in significant magazines from the end of 19th century (Ruch, Pokrok, Květy, Osvěta, Čas), and one monograph about Julius Zeyer, in which the authors criticise the researched work. The second part is divided into two sections. The first analytical section characterizes the structure of the text from narratological and poetological point of view. It focuses on basic narratological categories of the analysed text, i. e. the narrator, the story, the characters, the time and the key dynamic themes. Special attention is paid to descriptiveness which forms the work in a characteristic way. The second section is focused on the relation of the text towards the literary forms of the end of 19th century, i. e. realism, parnasism and romantism. The aim of this work is to give a complete image of Zeyer´s work The Adventure of Madrana.
