Literary Universe in Three Parts
For decades, the Prague School of Structuralism assumption of textual autonomy dominated the explorations of Czech literature, as well as the context of Czech literary theory. The three authors of this book combined their efforts to move beyond and offer a new conceptual frame. Sharing the structuralist proposition of texts made from words, they focus on the metamorphoses of the modes of representations through 20th century fiction and its critical reflections.

Models of Representation in Czech Literary History
