OD EXPERIMENTU K BLÁZNOVSTVÍ A NAOPAK NEBOLI O ČLOVĚKU NORMÁLNÍM A EXPERIMENTÁLNÍM
FROM EXPERIMENT TO MADNESS AND BACKWARDS

Summary/Abstract: Karel Čapek is concerned with problems in work of some writers who experimented with poem´s language or persons or their own author´s subject. He is heading for mannerism in some essay of book Marsyas čili Na okraj literatury (1931) and mainly in his uncompleted novel Život a dílo skladatele Foltýna (1939), published after his death. This mannerism is different from mannerism in 1520–1650. We alert on impulses from Jiří Opelík in essay Po iksté o „Foltýnovi“. The essay was published in a book titled Čtrnáctero prací o Karlu Čapkovi a ještě jedna o Josefu Čapkovi jako přívažek (2008). We find the issue of mannerism also in 1850–1950 and we are concerned with impulses from books by a German author Gustav René Hocke (1908–1985), named Svět jako labyrint and Manýrismus v literatuře, translated to Czech (2001).
