Current methodological approaches to literary history in the Czech Republic

In the 20th and 21st century, several resonating types of methodological approach to literary history have emerged in the Czech lands. This thesis desribes and analyzes the ever changing conception of literary history from the late 19th century to the present and how it has been put into practice when writing literary history. Concepts that have been dominating the discourse in recent decades are emphasized. After 1989, individual discoursive topics in the realm of literary history are reflected as well. Concepts that represent a 'paradigm shift' or a new typpe of speech are preferred - the thesis has a qualitative rather than quantitative character. All methodological concepts are reflected in the Euroamerican context
