The topic of the article is the analysis of the narrative structures of historiographic works, arising from the basic assumption that a historical text is from certain point of view a work of prose whose formal structure is poetic and thus at least partially subject to the rules of the literary production of fiction (Hayden White). Besides narrative structures of the historical text, the work thematises also the role of the author (historian) - put more precisely his/her stylisation and the functions that arise from these stylisations.
The primary sources of the thesis are Czech historical works dealing with te Baroque, re-Catholisation, and the Refomation in the Czech Lands.
