Jan Snížek in the context of Czech cabaret theatre in the period from 1920 to 1948 Summary This thesis focuses on the work of a nearly forgotten Czech cabaret artist and writer Jan Snížek (1902 - 1971). The introduction deals with the history of Czech cabaret in the period from 1920 to 1945. Here, the selected cabaret theatres in the various periods of time (the 1920s, 1930s, The Nazi occupation) are discussed from the political and cultural points of view. Later the thesis analyses the personality of Jan Snížek and the particular theatres he was part of. Furthermore the thesis thoroughly discusses the work of Jan Snížek and its impact on the period newspapers. The following chapters deal with author's later life and his prose collection written in exile. The last part of the thesis summarizes Jan Snížek's creative activity and its role in the Czech Occupation theatre, analyses the great success of his cabaret production and explains why such a significant author is now almost unknown to the public.
