Czech Travelogues from the Kingdom of Dalmatia

Jiří Hrabal ; Palacký University Olomouc

Abstract

The paper deals with Czech travelogues from Dalmatia, especially during the period of the “long” nineteenth century. It is an original panoramic study, which marks the beginning of the author's extensive research devoted to Czech travelogue writing from the Kingdom of Dalmatia, the majority of which has remained buried in the contemporary press of the time, and has not been republished or received attention in scholarly literature. The travelogues from Dalmatia nevertheless represent a valuable source of information for an investigation into the “Czech image of Dalmatia”, and therefore also into intercultural contact in the nineteenth century. The contribution thus presents the results of a heuristic study of contemporary sources.
