Abstract

The poetry of Karel Hynek Mácha, the main representative of Czech romanticism, is written in a deeply elegiac mode, thus standing opposite to the literary production of Czech National Revival with its clear tendency to the idyllic model. Mácha’s elegism was, first of all, influenced by German, English, and Polish romanticism, but has its roots also in the poetry of early Czech National Revival. The paper follows the beginnings and early development of Czech elegy from Thám’s and Puchmajer’s almanacs up to František Turinský’s sentimental elegies and Jan Kollár’s endeavours for a national elegy.
