Authorial production of literary proper names: the novels by Anna Bolavá

Publication at Faculty of Education |
2017

Abstract

The paper uses two novels by contemporary Czech female writer Anna Bolavá for the research of authorial production of proper names. First it describes the novels and its "landscape of proper names"; then it presents an interview with the authoress on proper names used in the novels.

The paper tries to show that this method can yield new relevant knowledge on the production of literary proper names as well as on the writer's poetics; besides, it is useful as a corrective of mis- and overinterpretation.
