Cíle předmětu
In this course, students will learn how the most important social and ecclesiological topics were communicated by the Czech Reformers both in written and oral forms. Also the reception and rejection of these ideas in other medieval European lands - especially German and Polish - will be discussed.
Výstupy z učení
After completing the course, students will be able to:
- describe general literary and historical context of the Czech Reformation
- recognise the most popular literary tools and genres of textual communication and argumentation of this medieval era
- analyze the main ideas written or pronounced by both reformers and their opponents
- understand the influence of the early Czech Reformation on the Hussites movement
- understand the relationship between the Czech Reformation and "reformations" in other medieval European lands
