| Description | The genre of the sensation novel in the Sue’s Mysteries of Paris and his specific grasp in the prose works of J. K. Tyl and Karel Sabina I focused on the French writer E. Sue (1804-1857). Sue relied on the genre of the English Gothic novel and accentuated the elements of French frenetic romanticism for which there are typical mysterious backdrops of the city, intricate relationships among the characters, description of violence and death, characters of innocent persecuted and their protectors, issues of poverty, crime and prostitution. I pointed out the link between Tyl's story of The Life of the Poor (1845) and Sue's novel Mysteries of Paris (1842-43) and other intertextual links between the Czech version of the sensation novel, combining the features of the adventure and social novel a la Sue with patriotic themes in the novel In the Desert (The Sons of Light, 1863) by K. Sabina. |
