Editorial Reviews

Review

"The work of a gifted editor and a score of Czech scholars who share a common history of having suffered injustice, ostracism, intellectual constraint, and academic persecution during communist rule in Czechoslovakia--especially after 1968--this volume of 18 essays presents a strikingly original picture of Czech history and culture." Choice

"...the essays are written in a style that is clear and avoids the use of cumbersome jargon...The collection is almost entirely free of anything that might be considered patriotic chestbeating or ranting nationalism." Andrew M. Drozd, Slavic and East European Journal

"All of these essays are highly scholarly pieces of work....The English translations are uniformly excellent..." Slavic Review

"...handsomely produced volume..." American Historical Review


Product Description

This original collection of essays offers an account of key moments and themes in the history of the Czech Lands from the ninth century to the fall of socialism in 1989. The essays, commissioned specially for this volume, are almost all written by prominent scholars teaching and researching in the present-day Czech Republic, and there is no comparable book in English on the subject. Topics range from the great Bohemian courts of the medieval and early modern periods, to the nationalist revival, and the dramatic ethnic upheavals of modern times.

5.0 out of 5 stars Bohemia in History, February 3, 2009
I haven't finished the book yet, but perused all of it. I have Czech ancestry and been to the CZ Rep three times. This is the first book in English I've found on the history of Bohemia and more distinctly for the modern era, the Czech Republic. This book is a compilation of works by scholarly people on different eras dating from BC to principally 900 AD forward. There are maps to help also. This covers ALL the history and does not overemphasize the reformation, defenestrations, and Battle of White Mountain. I think it's well worth the money.
