Contours of Mácha´s myth
Abstract
In 2010, Czech culture celebrates the 200-year anniversary of the birth of Karel
Hynek Mácha, the Czech romantic poet. The early reactions to Mácha´s works
were for the most part rejections: national culture did not want to admit themes
that would not serve the immediate goal of developing Czech patriotic culture.
In despite of this, from the 1860´s, Mácha´s legacy gradually advanced into
the focus of Czech culture. Nevertheless, Mácha can be seen as indisputable
part of the Czech cultural canon from the late nineteenth century. The ways
in which Mácha became the greatest inspiration appearing in Czech literature,
music, visual ATS, films or theatre were different, although they all created
the mythological interpretations of poet.
