Lumír
Lumír was a Czech fiction magazine that was published from 1851 to 1866 and was named after a Czech legend. It was edited by Ferdinand Břetislav Mikovec and from 1863 by Vítězslav Hálek . At that time it was already called "Golden Prague" ( Zlatá Praha ).
Another magazine of the same name was published in 1898. It was a periodical work for literature and art, a joint work of the so-called Lumírovci and Česká moderna , editorially directed by Václav Hladík . The publisher was owned by J. Otto. At the beginning František Xaver Šalda and his students worked with us .
The magazine initially appeared three times a month, only in the years 1900–1901 was it published weekly. Big changes happened on October 15, 1904, when Hladík made a change to a monthly magazine for literature, art and public life. Jaroslav Vlček joined the editorial team on November 12, 1905 . On December 11, 1905, the literary association Umělecká beseda announced Lumír as its new organ of proclamation. On September 8, 1907 Viktor Dyk took over the editorial office, in 1911 Jaroslav Kamper joined the editorial team .
Through his participation, Lumír became the official organ of announcement of the circle of Czech writers ( Kruh českých spisovatelů ). In the meantime, younger writers also wrote for the magazine, provided they were not members of the Novina or Moderní Revue group. Lumír reached a top position during the First World War , with regular anti-Austrian contributions from Dyk, Otakar Theer , Petr Křička , Arne Novák , who also tried to capture the feeling of the Czech nation.
After Dyk's death, the magazine was headed by the editorial team Zdeněk Kalista , Rudolf Medek , Karel Sezima , František Skácelík . In 1928 Ota Verlag sold the magazine to Knihovna Lumíra. In 1934 Hanuš Jelínek edited the editorial team as the responsible editor, with Kalista, Medek and members of the editorial team Štěpán Jež , Jan Opolský , and others.
The magazine was discontinued in 1940.
