They will be able to interpret literary pieces as well as justify and support their views using their knowledge of literary studies. The seminar covers the Czech poetry in the years 1945-1989 (including the inner differentiation between the years 1948 and 1968). The individual topics are presented in chronological order, selected chapters are chosen in order to maintain the notion of continuity of the literary process in this period. Individual seminars will focus on more complex wholes (e.g. groupings of poets, works similar in themes or works of an outstanding personality of the period).
