Dívčí romány na konci dlouhého 19. století a genderové stereotypy v nich
Novels for Girls at the End of the Long Nineteenth Century and Their Gender Stereotypes

Summary/Abstract: Collections of congratulatory poems but also brief prose speeches became highly popular in the nineteenth century. A considerable number were published and republished. Most of them were intended for children and young people, to whom social convention ascribed a clearly deined role in domestic and school celebrations. At the expense of originality and regardless of the age of the reciter or writers, however, the accent in these texts was mainly on the established form of speeches at celebrations and their educational impact. These collections of congratulations then necessarily tended to become teaching aids and social manuals rather than collections of verse, even though congratulations in verse corresponded in many respects to contemporary poetry for children and young adults.
