Summary/Abstract: Václav Řezáč is primarily known for his novels, but in the late 1920s and early 1930s, he made his mark with poems, short stories, and theater criticism published in magazines like Český svět, Eva, and Svět ve filmu a obrazech. His critical reviews, often signed with the initials –vč– or vč., showcased his broad cultural insight and were complemented by notes on current theatrical events. These reviews provided comprehensive evaluations of contemporary staging practices, considering dramaturgical choices, artistic direction, and the interplay of various theatrical elements. Writing his own works took Řezáč some time, and his criticism helped him clarify his artistic criteria, reflecting on societal and political events between the world wars. His theater criticism offers a significant glimpse into his aesthetic and ideological views, which have been partially documented by previous literature but not systematically. This bibliography compiles Řezáč's contributions, particularly his theater reviews, from 1928 to 1934, providing a foundation for further research in interwar literature and theater history.
