Course objectives
The seminar is devoted to interpretation of prosaic and essayistic works of Jan Èep, one of the most popular authors with Christian orientation in the Czech literature of 20th century. Students who will enrol the course, will get the most complete knowedge about author's inter-war works, but also about his mainly essayistic post-war works and his influence (evident and hidden) on modern Czech prose. Čep's literary production will be evidently organically and systematically interpreted within the line of Czech literature in 20th century.
