Summary/Abstract: This article focuses on stylometric analysis of the poetic work of Josef Barák (1833–1883). The authors’ introduction briefly summarizes the controversy stirred up by Oldřich Králík’s theory, that Jan Neruda was the real author behind the texts, pointing out that later stylometric arguments against Neruda’s authorship (by Pavel Vašák), based on an analysis of his prose work, were not actually built on solid foundations. Using quantitative analysis they then show that the poetic texts attributed to Barák show a high degree of similarity to Neruda’s early collection Knihy veršů.
