Course objectives

Some literary works feature a character of a reader. The reader sits or lies around, holding a book in their hand, contemplating it, reading out loud from it or listening to the narration, writing a diary or themselves creating. The book influences and transforms their life. Something new arises out of the encounter of two texts. The topic of this comparative literature seminar will be the book as the subject of another book. We are going to examine several works of both Czech and world literature as to what meanings such intimate meeting of two or more texts generates, may it occur in the form of allusion, quotation, or paraphrase, and may the book entering another one be a classic or a less well-known work. How does the work engage with writing, reading, translation, and artistic creation? What does this plotline or layer of meaning offer the given work? What does it offer us, the readers?
