Meditating in the Interwar Period. A Comparison of František Halas' and Josef Hora's Meditative Poetry Published from 1927 to 1936

This bachelor's thesis focuses on meditativeness and the spiritual conception in poetry of František Halas and Josef Hora, the two significant Czech poets of the 20th century, specifically in their collections of poetry published from 1927 to 1936. It focuses on the characteristics of approaches to meditating in both of the poets whose poems share many motives and certain themes, e.g. silence, darkness, night, love and others. It also considers the resemblance and blending of their conceptions on the one hand and their dissimilarity on the other hand; it compares the original way of grasping those themes and motives in the work of František Halas and Josef Hora in the given period of time.
