This article is an analysis of writing by Karel Havlíček Borovský (1821–1856) and Jan Neruda (1834–1891) about Jews and, in particular, about Siegfried Kapper (1820–1879), the first Jewish author of a collection of verse in Czech. Both Havlíček and Neruda expressed anti-Jewish sentiments, but each of them came out of a different ideological background. The article puts these two anti-Jewish traditions into the European context and seeks to demonstrate that interpretations have so far mostly been locked in the Czech nationalist discourse.
