Božena Němcová a sestry Rottovy

51%
EN
The study is concerned with the relationship of three women-writers of the 19th century (Bozena Nemcová and the Rott sisters), involving both the point of view of their personal life and their artistic activity. The material basis provides especially two volumes of 'Correspondence of Bozena Nemcová', which have been recently published, supplemented by other, so far unknown sources. Mutual contacts of three women began in 1850 when Nemcová started to visit the Muzák family quite regularly. The study gives an account of close relationship of Nemcová and Sofie Rottová and shows how the work of G. Sandová is reflected in a preserved correspondence. Yet, there are small marks of controversy of friends, in the spring of 1853, and at the same year, the mutual contacts stopped. The reasons of break have been so far interpreted in the light of late memorial prose of K. Svetlá 'Z literárniho soukromi' depicting Nemcová with critical distance. The study discusses the mutual division at the basis of new sources, namely the mutual correspondence of the Rott sisters and so far unpublished diary entries of Sofie Rottová. Regarding the split between the friends, it may be seen the role of Nemcová's relationship to Doctor V. D. Lambl (who was originally the suitor to Podlipská), however, at the same time, the controversy is rendered within the wider context as an evidence of fundamental transformations of set of values, which appeared in the 1850s and which was defined by J. W. Burrow as the transition from 'romanticism' to 'post romanticism'. As far as the personal life and social activity of Nemcová are concerned, we might observe how her attitude was connected with older romantic ideas, in which she was intellectually maturing ('Ceskomoravské bratrstvo', reading) and of which she could not get herself untied, while younger Rott sisters, especially Johana Muzáková-Karolina Svetlá, from the mid 50s strove for new (post romantic) streams. At the end of 50s Johana Muzáková had another reason to distance herself from Nemcová. As a beginning authoress (in 1858 she published her début in an almanac Máj) she was more than eager to set up as an independent original personality, dissimilating to Bozena Nemcová. The last part of study analyses the hidden polemics of literary beginnings of K. Svetlá against prosaic works by Nemcová. The work by K. Svetlá is presented as an example of newly establishing ethical and aesthetical norms.

Liberální matka Božena Němcová?

EN
The preserved correspondence of Božena Němcová can be used as a source for an analysis of her attitude to her children. The letters enable us to reflect if these attitudes diverged from the conventions of the time, to what degree her personal experiences reflected in her raising of the children and what priorities she envisioned for them. The principles Němcová quoted can be to a certain degree seen as representing a clash of only slowly changing social norms (i.e. the notion of the patriarchal family with father-provider) and the rapidly changing social and economic reality. Němcová herself was forced to submit to the economic situation of her family and through her own income tried to improve its situation. As for the raising of the children, she mostly advocated traditional views. However, we can consider modern her conviction of the importance of first-rate education, without regard to gender. As for the future professions of her children, she viewed this question in a practical way, considering the possibilities for professional fulfilment and salary. There is a marked difference in the approach of Němcová to her sons and to her only daughter, influenced of course by the fact of their greater or shorter distance from home, but also probably by certain traditional and gender-stereotypical thinking. The educational style of Němcová should not be considered liberal, as she most often reminded her children of their duties, moral principles, obedience, respect and responsibility.

The article has two aims. First, it endeavours to define the limits of authorship in Karel Sabina (1811-1877) and Jan Erazim Sojka's (1826-1887) Nasi muzove (Our fighters, 1862-63), a set of twenty biographical sketches of Slav writers (and one Irishman). Since it has to have as its starting point the most important analysis of this work - Alexandr Stich's Stylisticke studie III: Sabina, Nemcova, Havlicek (1976) -, the article also constitutes a critical commentary on Stich's book. Stich analyzes only two chapters of Nasi muzove in detail - those about Havlicek and Nemcova. In addition to Stich's remarks on the Havlicek essay, this article discusses the origin of the essay with reference to important material that Stich either did not know or ignored - namely, Sojka's original version of the article in Zabavnik Lipy ceskomoravske, which Sabin comprehensively edited for Nasi muzove, as well as Sabina's manuscript criticism of Havlicek's biography by Alfred Waldau (1837-1882) and Waldau's Die Bewegungen in Prag im März 1848 (1859). Sabina's considerable share in writing the text is thus more precisely determined; Stich's argument that the quotations from Havlicek's articles in Nasi muzove may have been deliberately altered is not challenged. The article also reproduces Stich's analysis of the volume's essay on Nemcova, but takes issue with some of his conclusions. It also mentions various polemics with Stich on his method (particularly, Josef Sebek's) and his sources (Jaroslava Janackova's taking issue with Stich's suspicion that four letters of Nemcova's, which we know only from Nasi muzove, were forgeries). In particular, the author of the article agrees with Stich's unfinished argument about the possible interpolation of literary allusions in the four letters, and presents an analogous example of Sabina's changes to Eduard Hindl's (1811-1892) letter to the publican Svoboda in Sabina's 'Uvod povahopisny' (Character sketch by way of an introduction, 1845) to Macha's Collected Works. On the basis of style analysis and other tools of textual criticism the article concludes by attributing the individual parts of Nasi muzove to Sojka or Sabina, and considers the circumstances in which the book was written. The author, in contrast to Stich, reconfirms that the editor of the volume was Sojka, who for the most part, however, used material sent to him by Sabina; Sojka then frequently altered this material, particularly in each essay's introduction or conclusion, usually to their detriment. On the whole, one may attribute to Sojka the authorship of about one-third of Nasi muzove, but the principal author was Sabina. The fact that Sabina was not involved in the final manuscript of Nasi muzove and remained anonymous probably demonstrates that Stich was mistaken in saying that Sabina was clandestinely using the book as a contribution to the Sabina cult.

The article focuses on the analysis of collections of fairy tales and legends of the Czech revivalist Božena Němcová, especially those in the Czech language. The specific clusters of tales are being analyzed one by one, as for the frequency of textual emendations made by B. Němcová. The most modified were the magical tales, less modified the anecdotic and humoristic ones, only slight changes were applied to animal, legendary and cumulative tales. All the changes correspond to the „mythological school“ of her time, but unlike Erben Němcová did not sought for the mythological origins of the texts, but rather aimed at expanding them and adapting them in accord with the conviction of the Czech National Movement on the crucial importance of the popular culture.

Slovenské obrazy Boženy Němcové

The paper deals with the activities of the writer Božena Němcová in Slovakia in the years 1851–1855. She visited Slovakia four times in this period (three times she visited her husband who worked here in civil service, her last stay was intended as a cure, while most of the time Němcová devoted to ethnographical research). All her stays resulted in contributions based on active observation, ethnographic and folkloristic research, consultations with a number of Slovak intellectuals dealing with both humanities and natural sciences. The results of the individual stays differ both in form and quality. They proceed from journalistic "causerie" towards serious attempts of monographic elaboration of natural background, history, demography, sociological, ethnographical and gender facts of a given region. The contribution to folkloristic is outstanding. The writer used Slovak inspirations also in her fiction. Thanks to her activities, Božena Němcová belongs to the history of Slovak ethnology.
