This article deals with the special variability of Příliš hlučná samota (Too Loud a Solitude), particularly its second version, over which the specialist literature predominantly expresses misgivings (often designating it as less Hrabalesque). By analysing individual passages in substantial detail I endeavour to show the specific nature of each version and how these versions (particularly the second) differ from the others. I have chosen the legitimizing narrative mode, which Hrabal is probably caricaturing, as a summarizing description of the specific nature of the second version. This finding is indicated by the emphasis on semantic concretization (which is not typical of Hrabal), which is subverted by the narrator’s uncertainty and his attempt to depict in greater detail not only real scenes, but also Haňťa’s interior life, with the emphasis on a more detailed depiction of the onset of normalization. In the second version Haňťa is sentimental, lacking a sense of humour and self-irony. He puts the misery of the world down to the account of the inhuman heavens. I illustrate this characteristic in Haňťa’s dual attitude towards the scatological anecdote (the carnival merriment of the first and third version as against the metaphysics of shit in the second version), not least in Haňťa’s idea of an enormous press that he would use to compress Germany.

This study focuses on the issues surrounding artistic influence in high literature and the ways that the extent and relevance of this influence can be comprehended. It is loosely associated with intertextual and comparative examination of fiction and in this context it attempts to redefine and revive the little used concept of influence, working with the idea of the (literary) reference and distinguishing between the principle of the proximity of references, which examines the analogy between pretext and posttext, and the principle of the individuation of references, which reflects the innovative share of the poet or writer in the creative treatment of the pretext. The examples to which these hypotheses relate are taken from the literary reception of the Dvůr Králové and Zelená Hora manuscripts in 19th century Czech literature.

This article deals with the historical poetics of narrative (inter alia in line with the programme of “diachronic narratology”, which focuses on describing and analysing the development of narrative forms and devices). Attention is also focused on the techniques that are characteristic of realism, which is understood to be a discourse phenomenon in literary history (i.e. not as some timeless phenomenon) and primarily as the suppression of novel dialogicality resulting from the aesthetic norms of 19th century realism. In line with Mikhail Bakhtin and Patricia Waugh’s theories, dialogicality is presented as a trend that is typical of the novel genre. Quite characteristic of the pre-realist novel is the conflict between the depicting (author’s) and the depicted (narrator’s) voice. The requirement for more realistic narration resulted in the suppression of this dual voice, i.e. in a trend towards the objectivization of narrative, which manages to conceal its literary nature and aim for the illusion of directly depicting reality. The objectivization of narration is based on Czech historical prose material (Linda, Klicpera, Tyl and Jirásek), in which the orientation towards a neutral perspective was made evident inter alia in the gradual elimination of narrative commentary, which had originally fulfilled both an interpretational and a formative (patriotic rhetoric) function. A similar phenomenon involving concealment of literariness also appears in personal narration, in which the fictional narrator progressively suppresses the originally evident authorial authority (obvious, for example, in the forewords to novels). Realist novels frequently mask themselves as authentic speech genres (with written or oral narration).

This study focuses on the beginnings of historical prose and its share in the emergence of modern historical thought. It surveys the origins of historicism as a distinctive approach towards the past, which experienced its heyday in the 19th century and which to this day still exercises some influence on our historical thinking. Whereas the first part of this exposition focuses on charting the output and transfer of new narrative techniques, the second part focuses on the internal operation of these texts and the implications arising out of the rhetoric involved for the reader. Hence the exposition surveys both questions regarding the cultural transfer of the emerging vernacular literature at the end of the 18th century and with the help of media theorists such as Friedrich Kittler it seeks answers to media theory issues surrounding the representation of the past.

In the late 18th and early 19th century a particular conception of the journal emerged within early Romantic German circles as a universal encyclopedia bringing together both art and sciences. This study follows the influence of this idea and its variants within the Central European and Czech context, where it gained ground, particularly in the case of Časopis českého Musea and Krok. These Czech periodicals had the basic characteristics of this kind of journal: their establishment is understood to be a culturally and nationally representative act, and their production is characterized by typical tension between the artistic and scientific elements. Above all they became important distributors of various forms of Romantic discourse.
