K slavení já však zrozen jsem
But I was born to celebrate

Summary/Abstract: In his study Ivo Harák deals with poetic work of Jan Zahradníček, one of the most remarkable representatives of Czech spiritual lyrics of 20th century. Harák gives a comprehensive analysis of Zahradníček´s poetry collections – using knowledge of the most significant secondary sources concerning Zahradníček´s production. Harák attempts to draw the developmental line of Zahradníček´s work since his beginning in poetry (Pokušení smrti) to the development of Zahradníček’s poetics to the mid-1930s XX. century. Harák points at ideal and formative dominants being repeated, deepening and making variations in Zahradníček´s work. Harák also relates to his previous works on analogical authors (particularly to his monograph Básník a jeho čas on Zdeněk Rotrekl and another monograph of his Básník Josef Suchý).
