Abstract
This article presents the post-mortem organization of Jan Hanč’s literary texts (1916–1963) as an open question. As a rule, the writer did not date his own works and, with the exception of three handwritten notebooks, did not put them in any order. In those cases where such information is provided within the text itself, we must understand it as an element of artistic stylization rather than evidence of documentation, or indication of the origin of the work. This article analyzes the work of the publishers of Hanč’s selected writings at the end of the 1960s, with regard to the author’s manuscripts in their material form.
