Apart from his work as a literary historian, Frank Wollman distinguished himself in the 1920s as an expressionism-influenced playwright. At the beginning of the Nazi Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia, he begun writing a tragedy entitled Fridland, intended to be his “magnum opus”, in which he attempted to rehabilitate Albrecht von Wallenstein in confrontation with the domestic (F. Zavřel) and German (F. Schiller) dramatic traditions. In the spirit of his morphological structuralism, he understood the dramatic text as intentionally given, expressed by language as well as differentiated aesthetically. Although Wollman’s struggle for publishing and staging Fridland remained unsuccessful due to the ideological pressures at the turn of the 1940s and 1950s, it presents a valuable attempt to connect academic discourse with the artistic text, supplemented by theoretical introduction and conclusion.
