The work of Viola Fischerová and Jaroslava Blažková from the perspective of literary feminism and gender?

Summary/Abstract: The two women authors Viola Fischerová (1935 – 2010) and Jaroslava Blažková (1933 – 2017) belong to the same generation, but to (seemingly?) different national literary traditions. The writers ceaselessly experience in their life and work the Central European literary and political space from which they originate. The reception of their writing – by general and professional readership – is ambiguous in both cases. Although critics often suggest that from the literary point of view, they are individually “emptied vessels” about which there is nothing more to say, contemporary perspectives and literary scholarly discussions suggest that a return to their poetics is relevant. On the basis of established literary theoretical premises and by means of parallel analysis and interpretation (which also underline distinct authenticity of their work), the paper attempts to outline those aspects of the texts that might stimulate a renewed interest in the personalities and poetics of these authors in a broader context. In this way, it tries to transcend the boundaries (literary-historical, interpretative, etc.) that have been created for various reasons.
