(Ján Kollár in the German Lands (1840 – 1850)) – PDF
Abstract: During his life, in the years 1840 – 1850, Ján Kollár visited some lands of Germany: 1841 (Munich, Bavaria), 1844 (Konstanz, Baden-Württemberg) and 1850 (Neustrelitz, Mecklenburg and the island of Rügen). He left us his memoirs, two travelogues and correspondence. The study provides a summary of all these stays, an introduction to new findings and a detailed overview of hitherto little-known journeys and stays. These descriptions offer the key to Kollár’s ideology, interests, his perception of otherness, but also inform us about the period appearance of localities, travelling and everyday life.
