Description
This Czech-language volume brings together Josef Svatopluk Machar’s first collection, Confiteor… (1887), which caused one of the most turbulent scandals in the history of Czech literature, and the collection of verse stories Zde by měly kvést růže… (1894). Machar’s poetic work stands at the foundations of modern Czech poetry. The factual realism, provocative irony and pronounced individualism of his verse reject the ideals of the Ruch and Lumír generations and establish a new poetic style. The verse stories portray women who become victims of hypocrisy and conventional morality, making Machar appear, from today’s perspective, as a precursor of gender criticism of bourgeois society.
