RT Journal Article SR Electronic A1 Dušková, Pavlína T1 František Herites's salon prose JF Bohemica Olomucensia YR 2020 VO 12 IS 1 SP 64 OP 79 DO 10.5507/bo.2020.006 UL https://bohemica.upol.cz/artkey/boh-202001-0006.php AB František Herites published a prose with clear signs of salon literature (a salon room, a salon speech, a romantic story) in the periodical Lumír. Further Herites's prose is dominated by decorative descriptions, floral ornaments associated especially with female heroes, these ornaments symbolize their beauty and uniqueness (the influence of Parnassian literature). And finally in his prose we find ever-colliding idyllic and anti-idyllic elements, for example topos of idyllic places and boats versus the tragic death of the main character.
