Abstract

The article contributes to the mapping of the important phenomenon of the British presence in Italy. Based on the selected texts of Czech travel literature of the first third of the twentieth century, the article illustrates how this fact was reflected in the representation of Italy. Therefore, the prism of the Czech visitor to Italy enriches the phenomenon with another perspective, discussing, among other things, the Czech perception of England in the relevant period and beyond.
