This study seeks an answer to the question when and how the Czech romantic K. H. Mácha (1810–1836) started to be seen as a “modern” poet who could inspire authors writing decades after his death. The study proves that the image of “modern” Mácha as the first Czech poet to achieve the autonomy of art already existed between 1860 and 1890, and that Mácha’s artistic reputation grew constantly throughout the second half of the 19th century. This argument is based on a vast amount of evidence, mostly taken from literary journalism and criticism between 1858 and 1910 (the latter year seeing the centenary of Mácha’s birth).

This study describes the origin and development of the friendship between the literary scholar Jan Mukařovský (1891–1975) and the writer Vladislav Vančura (1891–1942). Mukařovský’s interpretations of Vančura’s literary works are the main focus of the study. Both Mukařovský’s published works and texts that were never published (e.g. university lectures) are analysed. On the basis of archival research, the author of the study proves that Mukařovský analysed Vančura’s work much earlier than he published his first-ever work on Vančura in 1934. In the course of the 1940s to 1960s, Mukařovský published many texts on Vančura in which he remembered Vančura as a friend, poet, Communist and anti-fascist activist.
The article draws attention to the new possibilities of the research into the genre and thematic composition of Czech printed production of the 16th century, which are going to be offered by the Knihověda.cz portal in future. This portal virtually merges two databases of the national retrospective bibliography - Knihopis and Bibliografie cizojazyčných bohemikálních tisků 1501-1800 [The Bibliography of Foreign-Language Printed Bohemica 1501-1800]. It examines the genre composition of both Czech- and foreign-language printed production of the 16th century, which comprises a total of more than 4,000 units, and monitors the gradual development of the genres established in previous periods and the occurrence of entirely new genres. The aim of the paper is not a detailed analysis of the selected period but rather a basic overview of the genres and an indication of new research possibilities., Andrea Jelínková., Obsahuje anglické resumé a dvě textové přílohy, and Obsahuje bibliografické odkazy
