Summary/Abstract: The article analyzes rules of prosody in the work of the Czech writers of the National Revival. In the Puchmajer Group the syllabotonic system won out. In the 1810s and throughout the 1820s in an attempt to achieve higher artistic goals there was a boom in Czech quantitative verse; but Classical metres were used only for translations.
