Dramatik František Adolf Šubert

10,40 €

František Adolf Šubert is often remembered as the National Theatre's first director, but this monograph turns to his work as a playwright. Antonín Veselý traces its development within a broader cultural environment.

The revised manuscript follows a path from student beginnings through Romantic foundations and French influences toward realist dramatic ambitions. The discussion draws on source research and examines the role individual works played in their time.

This Czech-language PDF eBook suits theater historians, scholars of Czech literature, and readers interested in Czech theater. Its value lies in its focused view of a less frequently discussed side of Šubert's career and the changes in his dramatic language.
