In the mid-nineteenth century a Czech writer and folklorist, Karel Jaromı´r Erben, publishes a collection under the title Bouquet, which consists of thirteen ballads inspired by oral folk literature. The leading theme of the collection is the metamorphosis of the dead into the living, which is derived from the primordial conceptions about monistic nature of all phenomena. Erben presents various options for reviving the dead: a metamorphosis into a vampire, a tree, a flower, a bird, and rebirth in a physical form before death. In each case, the metamorphosis involves the action of the elements of nature, which are a tool of moral instruction in the ballads. Reviving the dead is a consequence or a cause of sin, which is the exposure of human life in the name of selfish motives. Erben identifies selfishness with the betrayal of the family. From this point of view, the metamorphosis of the dead into the living reminds us of the value of human life, which is confirmed in family life conducted in accordance with Christian precepts. Erben allegorically extends this Biedermeier message, expressing faith in the rebirth of the Czech nation, which has been politically buried by the Habsburg regime.

The hylozoistic idea of matter as the visible side of everything there is attractive for the Romanticism’s mythopoetic concept of animated and dynamic nature of the universe and man as its projection. In this paper, the hylozoistic idea is interpreted in relation to Erben’s ballads. Two main research directions are outlined: the depiction of the Romantic landscape and its anthropomorphic incarnation through metaphorical rhetorics, and the genre specifics of the literary ballad. Its dominant place in the poetry of the first half of the 19th century is a reflection of the return to folklore and the mythological perceptions of the spiritual constants of life, so typical for this time. In the context of Erben’s poetry, the first aspect is visible most cleary in his ballad Záhořovo lože, while the latter one can be found in nearly all of his ballads where the real and the supernatural worlds meet. Instead of interpreting Erben’s poetry in the specific national context of the Czech Renaissance (an aspect that has been studied in detail by Czech scholars), our aim is to situate Erben’s poetic world and the genre model of his ballads within the European context. It is in this space that the hylozoistic idea proves very fruitful both for the Romantic writers’ concept of landscape and for their genre preference of ballad.

Inspired by A. Macurová’s analysis of various editions of fairy tales by Božena Němcová, the contribution compares six different editions of the fairy tale Otesánek by Karel Jaromír Erben. It shows that some editions (especially those published after the year 2000) contain textual changes that may seem subtle (such as the change in verbal aspect or in the degree of directness that the death of Otesánek is described with) may change the overall meaning of the text, the picture of the main characters, their possible “guilt” and the “moral message” of the story. Illustrations accompanying the texts and the question of how children of pre-school age understand the fairy tale are discussed as well.

Ecocriticism represents a trend of thought that has been gaining ground in the Czech academic milieu, and thinking about it raises a number of questions at the moment: whether there are any local analogues of ecocriticism, whether it makes sense to transfer the theory to the local context, and what the impact of such transfer could be. The main part of the article is devoted to the different phases of ecological consciousness in Czech literature and illustrates three of them with examples: the Romantic (Mácha, Erben, Furch), the early 20th century (Deml, Neumann) and the 1980s (Páral, Juliš). The conclusion of the article focuses on the question of the awareness of the state in these different phases and its inevitable incompleteness.
