Karel Ferdinand Dräxler and Early Czech Reception of English Romanticism
Original language description
The paper discusses two poems titled "Nesmrtelnost" [Immortality] and "Povzbuzení," [Encouragement] published in the literary journal Čechoslav of 1823. They are signed "From Byron by Manfred" and "By Manfred". The paper answers the question who was theauthor and what is the relation of the two poems to Byron's poetry. The pen name "Manfred" was used by Karel Ferdinand Dräxler (1806-1879), a minor 19th-century writer, who has been rather forgotten by our recent literary scholarship. There exists only one Czech study concerning the author and his poems. In 1925 in the paper "Karel Hynek Mácha and Karel Ferdinand Dräxler-Manfred", Albert Pražák outlined his biography and discussed the relation of his Czech and German poems to Mácha's oeuvre. The presentstudy identifies Byron's poem "When coldness wraps this suffering clay" as the source of "Nesmrtelnost," which is thus the first free translation from Byron into Czech, and "Povzbuzení" as a poem further freely developing the theme.
