Abstract: The paper aims to show how two of the contemporary Czech postmodern writers deal with the fictional renarration of the princess Libuše myth. Pole a palisáda (The Field and the Palisade, 2006) by Miloš Urban brings forth a traditional conception of the story. Vilma Kadlečková wrote her story O snovačce a přemyslovi (Of the Weaver and the Premeditator, 2007 AND 2015) as a direct answer to Urban’s adapation and offers a completely different approach, setting the story into the future and reversing many of its elements. The differences between the two texts are shown in various areas: the concept of uncertainty, the role of nature, the usage of number and color symbolism and the approach to the problems of gender and sexuality. |
