Summary/Abstract: In our brief overview of the most important works on the history of literature and language that have appeared in the last 25 years, attention is primarily directed to studies that are useful for the work of the historian. In recent times, it is felt in the thematic orientation and in the method of literary history, as indeed in all the social sciences, the entry on the scene of Marxist scholars who do not consider the search for facts as the end in itself but strive to place the results of their studies in the current of historical development and to determine their direct social relations. And it should be noted that thanks to this path, Czech literary history has acquired many positive results expressed not only by numerous titles of studies but also by substantial contribution to the knowledge of national history.
