Abstract

My text is an attempt to apply Charles Taylor's theory, dealing with the origins of the modern self, to Czech autobiographical literature originating in Romanticism. Taking a cue from Jean Starobinski and Philippe Lejeune's concepts of modern autobiography, I analyse Karel Hynek Mácha's personal diary from 1835 and try to find and emphasize its narrative and compositional aspects, which anticipate the poetics of modern poetic diaries.
