On Karel Jaromír Erben’s and János Arany’s ballads

Summary/Abstract: By studying parallels between the poetry of János Arany and Karel Jaromír Erben, the paper adds to the history of 19th century Czech and Hungarian literary relations. Next to similarities between their biographies and roles as poets, it also tackles the parallel features in the thick atmosphere of their ballads, which compared to European tendencies were written a little behind time. The structural analysis brings forth the complexity and similarities of their worldviews, too.
