Painting of Jan Hus in Council of Constance by Václav Brožík

The main feature of the literature of this period is the competition between Catholics writing in Latin, e. g. Bohuslav Hasištejnský z Lobkovic and Jan Dubravius ) and Protestants writing in Czech, e. g. Viktorin Kornel z Všehrd and Václav Hájek.

Catholic baroque works span two types: religious poetry such as that of Adam Michna z Otradovic, Fridrich Bridel and Václav Jan Rosa, and religious prose writings ( i. e. homiletic prose and hagiographies ), and historical accounts ( Bohuslav Balbín ), as well as the Jesuit St. Wenceslas Bible.

Two main topics were of interest: the exploration of the Czech village and the extent to which it remained an oasis of good morals ( Jan Herben, Karel Václav Rais, Alois Mrštík ); and Prague, especially the life of the lower classes ( Ignát Herrman, Karel Matěj Čapek Chod ).
