Abstrakt (ENG):

The Austrian expressionist poet Georg Trakl had a significant influence on Czech literature in the 20th century, especially thanks to the early translations of his poetry into Czech by Bohuslav Reynek and later by Ludvík Kundera. Numerous translators and poets dealt with Trakl’s poetry. At the center of the investigation is the question of the expression of this influence among the Moravian poets – who and how did Trakl’s work reflect in his poems. It turns out that Trakl’s work has a firm place in Czech literature and still radiates to the present day.
