Dopisy čtenářů Františku Hrubínovi (na základě jeho pozůstalosti)

The article describes in outline one part of the Papers of František Hrubin (1910–1971), which are deposited in the Archives of the Museum of Czech literature – namely, that related to his correspondence and his readers. It then considers letters that express the role of Hrubín’s works in non-literary life (during the war), his readers’ attitudes to his works (in the 1930s, 1940s, and 1960s), and the demands on the poet and his work (1950s). It concludes by presenting responses linked with Hrubín’s speeches at the Second Congress of Czechoslovak Writers.
