From Laughter to Forgetting: A Sourcebook of Czech Avant-Garde Discourses: Modern Czech Classics

Editat de Zuzana Ríhová Traducere de Meghan Forbes, Daniel Morgan, Ian Finlay Stone
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 7 mar 2025
A comprehensive reader on the Czech literary avant-garde.
 
In recent years a prominent trend in the study of European modernism and the avant-garde has been increased attention to texts and traditions that have long stood in the shadow of the French, German, and British traditions that dominate the canon. Yet this more expansive view of European modernism and the avant-garde has been hindered by the limited range of texts available outside the original languages. This book addresses that problem by offering a wide-ranging selection of literary, theoretical, and documentary sources from one of the most dynamic and original European avant-garde traditions: that of the first Czechoslovak Republic and of the Bohemian lands. The Czech avant-garde is in many respects the ideal “alternative” avant-garde to present in detail to a wider readership: it tracks Central European developments and was often influential internationally while being deeply embedded in particular cultural dynamics that produced original forms. This volume returns interwar Czech avant-garde writings to their place as a firmly embedded component of the European avant-garde.
