| description | This article analyses the ballads "Svetlana" by V. A. Zhukovsky and "Wedding Shirts" by K. J. Erben, the plot of which is derived from a famous poem by the German pre-Romantic poet Gottfried August Bürger. In analysing both works, we focus on the problem of spaciousness. Drawing on the conclusions of the Czech literary scholar Vojtěch Jirát, who considered Erben's ballads as an example of Czech Biedermeier, we try to show that the ideological plan of The Wedding Shirts is reflected in the way in which spaciousness is arranged in the ballad. Comparing it with the ballad "Svetlana", traditionally considered part of Russian Romanticism, we draw attention to the similarities in the ideological and spatial arrangement of both works. |
