Abstract

Frank Wollman (1888–1969) ranks among major figures respected in the twentieth-century Czech comparative studies within the European context. Admittedly, amidst his multifarious intellectual achievements, one endeavour has been consigned to oblivion, that is to say, his dramatic creations, which in the inter-war  period remained largely in manuscript. Wollman’s tragedies were conceived as verse dramas based on Russian realistic tradition and Slavonic ballads (Pushkin). Typical of his dramatic texts is the genre hybridisation of divers impulses, namely a synthesis of  Slavonic and West European dramaturgies, with special emphasis on ethical issues. Wollman’s leaning towards Russian tradition was strongly prompted in 1937 by his visit to the USSR where he familiarised with the dramaturgy of the Moscow Art Theatre. The scenic enactments of Wollman’s dramas may have failed to find their way to Czech theatres, nevertheless «Fridland», his newly found play about the Bohemian general Albrecht von Waldstein, deserves attention as an original effort to synthesise a historical account and literary drama, an attempt to fuse scholarly discourse and art.
