Máj (literary almanac)
thumbMáj was a Czech literary almanac published in 1858 by a group of authors around Jan Neruda and Vítězslav Hálek.
==Background==
After the revolution of 1848 and its suppression, the cultural life of Czech people was weakened by the absolutism of Bach government and also because a lot of intellectuals died (Ján Kollár, František Ladislav Čelakovský, Josef Kajetán Tyl, Karel Havlíček Borovský etc.) In 1853 two important masterpieces of Czech literature were published that avoided reflecting the political situation – ''Babička'' by Božena Němcová and ''Kytice'' by Karel Jaromír Erben. 〔 Ladislav Quis: Několik slov doslovem, Almanach Máj reprint, Prague 1909 〕 The first manifestation of the new generation of authors appeared in the literary almanac ''Lada Nióla'' published by Josef Václav Frič in 1856, which was the first to admire the legacy of Karel Hynek Mácha. 〔 Václav Staněk: Stručné dějiny literatury české, Olomouc 1905, p. 98 〕 The authors of the young generation did not have much to publish, and the only literary periodicals were in the hands of old and conservative writers (Jakub Malý, ''Lumír'' of Ferdinand Břetislav Mikovec). 〔
==The almanac==
The almanac was initiated by Jan Neruda, 〔 then a 24-year-old writer who had just entered his literary career with a collection of poems called ''Hřbitovní kvítí'' (Graveyard Flowers, 1857) which was not well received for its sorrowful scepticism.〔 Gustav Pallas and Vojtěch Zelinka: Obrazové dějiny literatury české, díl II., Prague 1926, p. 18 〕 That is why Jan Neruda persuaded an acquainted journalist Josef Barák, who was on the contrary very popular for his tough attitude against the Bach system, to be the editor.〔 The name for the almanac is said to come from Josef Václav Frič and shows the admiration for the imposing poem by Karel Hynek Mácha.〔 The young authors gathered in the ballrooms of Karel Link and a café in Dominican Street (now Husova ulice 352/2), Prague. 〔 The almanac was published on 16 May 1858 (the feast of John of Nepomuk) by publisher Hermann Dominikus (another publisher who was suggested by Neruda and Hálek was not allowed to publish it by the police).〔 The volume's first page had a dedication to Karel Hynek Mácha, and a portrait of the poet sketched to resemble a picture of John the Baptist by František Mašek (1836), in a little chapel in the compound of the ruins of Valdštejn Castle. 〔 Božena Němcová was the only author who was paid an honorarium for her contribution, which was motivated mainly by her bad financial situation at the time.〔
