Svetla Karolina
| WRITER (CZECHIA) |
|
BORN 24 Feb 1830, Praha - DIED 7 Sep 1899, Praha REAL NAME Rottova, Karolina GRAVE LOCATION Praha: Olsany, 3rd Cemetery |
| Karolina Svetlá was
the daughter of a merchant. She married Professor Petr Muzak
(1821-1892) in 1852. Her husband introduced her to the author Bozena
Nemcova, whom she befriended. Karolina started to write herself and
used the birthplace of her husband, Svetlá, as her pen name. The death of her only daughter put her into a crisis and she had a brief affair with the poet Jan Néruda. She was probably the love of his life, but she decided to stay with her husband and ended the affair. Svetlá wrote historic novels of a romantic nature, but her work handled serious themes, like the religious struggles of country folk in "The Cross by the Stream". Like Nemcova, she was involved in the question of rights for women. The author Sofie Podlipská is her younger sister. |
