Polyxena z Lobkovic v zrcadle literatury. Příspěvek ke vztahu historiografie a beletrie

The study deals with different forms of depiction of Polyxena of Lobkowicz primarily in Czech fiction literature from the end of the 19th century to the present. Using the example of this important character of early modern Bohemia, it examines the influence of critical historical research on her afterlife, which concerns mainly fiction. It also pays attention to specific examples of authors’ inspiration based not only on modern historiography. It also draws attention to some significant deviations of the examined titles from historical research and places the works of fiction in a contemporary context, which in certain periods largely determined the manner of literary treatment of Polyxena of Lobkowicz.
