Time and Space in Late-Medieval Dynastic Chronicles: With a Focus on Examples from Czech-Language Literature

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

The study focuses attention on the way in which time and space are perceived in medieval Czech popular narratives. It specifically examines the Chronicle of Stilfrid, Chronicle of Bruncvik, and the Chronicle of Melusine. In the second part of the essay, the author focuses more attention on the functions of personifying real geographic places in debate poems of Hussite era. Late-medieval dynastic chronicles introduced fundamental innovations to conceptualization of time and space. They are clearly visible in the perception of time, which began to demonstrate a higher level of mimesis. Narrators incorporated the chronicle keeper&apos;s perception of time and provided thorough information about the exact timing of events. The depicted time also begins to surpass the lifetime of one hero. Dynastic time appears in which generations succeed each other. Debate poems of the Hussite era provide evidence that the personification of specific places was one of the most common forms of literary expression in the fifteenth century. The authors of these debate poems certainly resorted to this genre because they could use it to mask an otherwise political message behind occasional and entertaining literature. They depicted religious and political strife as a quarrel between cities personified as both women and men; the authors&apos; own political beliefs were cloaked in a simple allegory about divine judgment.
