František Herites published a prose with clear signs of salon literature (a salon room,a salon speech, a romantic story) in the periodical Lumír. Further Herites‘s prose isdominated by decorative descriptions, floral ornaments associated especially withfemale heroes, these ornaments symbolize their beauty and uniqueness (the influence ofParnassian literature). And finally in his prose we find ever-colliding idyllic and anti-idyllicelements, for example topos of idyllic places and boats versus the tragic death of themain character.
