Summary/Abstract: An article concerned with the Structuralist critique, particularly by Roman Jakobson (1896–1982) and Jan Mukařovský (1891–1975), of the classical philologist and important theorist of Czech prosody Josef Král (1853–1917). Quoting examples, the author considers the often unjustified criticism by Jakobson and also the differences in Mukařovský’s and Král’s theories of verse. In conclusion, he states that although Král’s methods have been superseded his scholarly works continue to be useful.
