Summary/Abstract: The study deals with literary works of aristocrats in the 20th century. It pursues the topic of relation of the aristocracy to modernity and their family tradition, using the examples of Karel VI Schwarzenberg (May at the Castle) and Péter Esterházy (Harmonia caelestis). A special attention is paid to transformation of aristocratic religiosity – from an inherited tradition of the Estates to individualization and subjectivization. Further, the study addresses the change of an image of the aristocratic landscape – from a compact island of a pre-modern world to postmodern montage of fragments of the past.
