Abstract
This study, based on the quantitative analysis of bibliographical data, investigates changes in the way Czech literature was published in the period 1945–1959. Fundamental political, cultural, and social transformations during this period repeatedly impacted literary and cultural periodicals, as well as the daily press. The immediate post-war period, characterized by the swift renewal of literary and cultural life, as well as a rapid increase in the publication of literary texts, was in 1948 followed by growing restrictions on the freedom to disseminate one's own work, peaking in 1952. After this, there was a certain revival of literary production, which remained essentially stable in the second half of the 1950s. In addition to general quantitative data, this study tracks changes in more narrowly focused data sets, especially those concerning the publication of poetry during the period in question.

Keywords:
