The study covers the dynamics of changes in the Czech “rural novel” in the defined period 1935–1946. Representations of the countryside always had their political potential. I observe the representations of the countryside not through the lens of ideological determinism, but I perceive them primarily as a representation of the existential “experience of the countryside”. Study touches on the conceptualization of Czech ruralism, its programmatic approach to rural issues and its relationship to politics. I will also focus on the issue of comparing the “literary countryside” and historical contexts in a broader Central European perspective.
