The theoretical and methodological legacy of Czech structuralism can be examined through the ways in which certain Czech scholars addressed the issue of rhythm in epic literature. This study aims to provide a concise introduction and overview of the most significant contributions of Czech structuralists to this topic. The study focuses on the ideas of Vilém Mathesius, Jan Mukařovský, Felix Vodička, Miroslav Červenka and Milan Jankovič. At the core of the study lies an analysis of Jan Mukařovský’s conception, particularly his efforts to develop a systematic framework for narrative research in his university lectures. The paper concludes with a summary of the main approaches of Czech structuralists to rhythm in epic literature and a reflection on the influence of innovative terms and concepts introduced by Miroslav Červenka and Milan Jankovič – such as rhythmic focus, rhythmic vocabulary, and stream – on subsequent developments in this field.
