TY - JOUR TI - Cracow in the life and work of Edvard Jelínek AU - Kaleta, Petr TI - Cracow in the life and work of Edvard Jelínek AB - This study describes and analyzes Czech polonophile Edvard Jelínek’s relationship with the city of Cracow as reflected in his books and articles. Jelínek had extensive contacts in Cracow with leading representatives of Polish literature and culture (such as Władysław Anczyc, Adam Asnyk, Michał Bałucki and Adam Honory Kirkor), through whom he gained access to important city institutions and landmarks. After Warsaw, Cracow was Jelínek’s favorite Polish city, and he mentioned it in many of his writings. Jelínek also published several articles in the local press and, as a capable organizer of Czech–Polish cultural and scientific events, he contributed greatly to an 1884 pilgrimage to Cracow, under the auspices of Kolín’s Sokol, that was undertaken by more than 1,300 Czechs.  VL - 2019 IS - Issue 146 (4) PY - 2019 SN - 0083-4351 C1 - 2084-4069 SP - 769 EP - 785 DO - 10.4467/20844069PH.19.045.11661 UR - https://ejournals.eu/en/journal/prace-historyczne/article/cracow-in-the-life-and-work-of-edvard-jelinek KW - Edvard Jelínek KW - Cracow KW - publications KW - local landmarks KW - famous individuals
