Františka Antonie Kajetána Kerschnerová, better known as Františka Stránecká (March 9, 1839 – May 27, 1888) was a Czech writer and collector of Moravian folklore.
Františka Stránecká née Všetečková, was born on March 9, 1839, in Velké Meziříčí, in the family of the local burgrave František Všetečka. [1] She grew up in Stránecká Zhoř, and used the name of the village in her pseudonym "Stránecká" later in life. [1] At sixteen, she married Ignác Kerschner. [1] The couple spent their first five years in Berehove, then they moved to Uherské Hradiště. [1] In 1874, the couple settled in Brno. [1] Stránecká lived there until her death on May 27, 1888. [2] [3]
Stránecká started writing after the death of her father and brother, as a way of coping with the situation. [2] She wrote under the pseudonym Františka Stránecká and debuted in 1868 with a collection of fairy tales titled Pohádky z Moravy, published thanks to Karel Jaromír Erben, who recommended them to the publisher Eduard Grégr. [2] She kept her real identity secret; it was uncovered in 1882, in a lecture on Czech and Moravian writers by Jan Herben. [1]
Stránecká collected fairy tales and folklore of Moravia and Slovácko and wrote about the local traditions and history, [1] including drawing patterns of embroidery, writing down recipes, [2] songs, sayings [2] [3] and children's games. [3] She also wrote down detailed descriptions of traditional costumes. [2] She retold local tales and wrote short stories about the life of the local villagers. [4] Her works were published in newspapers and magazines, such as Ženské listy, Světozor, Zlatá Praha, Zora, [4] Beseda, Časopis Matice moravské, Květy, [3] as well as published as stand-alone books. [4]
Stránecká was called a "Moravian Božena Němcová". [4]
