Aspect of the Neo-romanticism in the Julius Zeyer's Prose

Anotace:

Předkládaná práce se zabývá aspekty novoromantismu v próze Julia Zeyera. Má deskriptivně-analytický charakter. První část je zaměřena na vysvětlení pojmu novoromantismus na podkladě odborné literatury; je akcentována návaznost na Karla Hynka Máchu. Dále jsou zachyceny literární vlivy secese a dekadence. Je popsán vztah Julia Zeyera k lumírovcům, jeho život a dílo. Hlavní část práce se pak zaměřuje na rozbor díla a zachycení novoromantických aspektů v Zeyerově próze Dům U tonoucí hvězdy. Z analýzy vyplývá, že se Zeyer s Máchou střetává v pojetí přírody, ale i v užití máchovských symbolů: poutníka, vězně a země.

Abstract:

This bachelor theses deals with the aspects of neo-romanticism in the Julius Zeyer?s prose. Neo-romanticism is the style, which is derived from romanticism, but it has also other different elements. In the Czech area neo-romanticism used to be defined very variously and the way of using this term was also very complicated. Therefore it is so important to explain the literary style neo-romanticism. For deeper understanding we have to know the origin and aiming of the style that we call romanticism, because it is the main inspirational source of neo-romanticism. So at the beginning of the theses, we suppose that it is methodologically necessary to include a paper about romanticism. There is the part one focused on explaining the term romanticism and issues associated with romanticism. In this chapter we underline connections with Mácha?s conception from the thirties in nineteenth century. We consider a romantic inspiration and its medieval origins. Another section pays attention to the conception of a nature in romanticism. This style considers a nature as a way to God. The romanticism admires wild nature. It was already Jean Jacques Rousseau who highlighted wilderness as the natural ideal. Romanticism and neo-romanticism presented by Julius Zeyer followed up these elements afterwards. Because of closeness to the nature another important element is travelling. A traveller interconnects inner and outer reality: his/her relationships and natural landscape facts. Walking to the nature is the act of expression of the freedom. The hobby in walking has several causes. In Mácha?s work it is very interesting how the nature impress the subject. For Mácha colours and antithesis are very important. We can compare this with Zeyer?s conception. We also consider the topic of night and exotic motives. Second chapter is about the another influence of the neo-romanticism, which is Art Nouveau. In Zeyer?s time nature was considered to be soul or the synonym of own I. Third chapter deals with decadence. At the end of nineteenth century in the Czech area decadence expands. There is a difference between a romantic and a decadent ? for the decadent there is no sense in fight. The decadent can?t see a single chance in a revolt. Neo-romanticism is influenced by decadence and therefore it will be interesting to capture this aspect in Zeyer?s prose afterwards. Chapter about neo-romanticism elaborates on its characters in detail and offer a summary of distinct elements from romanticism. After defining of the neo-romanticism we can proceed to the personality of Julius Zeyer. He had complicated relationships with the Lumírovecs school. Also his life itself considerably influenced his work. In nineties in nineteenth century there was a discussion whether Zeyer is romantic or decadent. He was certainly forerunner of the modern styles of twentieth century. The last chapter is the analysis of the chosen prose Dům U tonoucí hvězdy. In this part we utilize knowledge from the previous part and we produce conclusions about particular elements in Zeyer?s prose, namely: traveller, prisoner and country.
