A great many of the critical receptions and studies of Felix Vodička’s work as well as many of his students and followers concur in the lasting inspirational value of his heritage. In my paper I focus on tracing the impact of Vodička’s work both at home and abroad and on the recapitulation of the crucial literary theoretical and historical concepts informing Vodička’s work which literary critics and theoreticians still find thought-provoking. In the first part I deal with the most important studies, conferences and proceedings devoted to Vodička’s work; in the second part I elaborate on the three main principles of his structural theory (the development of literary structure, the history of the impact of literary works and structural thematics) which have been adopted by other scholars (H. R. Jauss, W. Iser, L. Doležel) in their works.
