Modern Czech Literature: Writing in Times of Political Trauma

This compelling volume offers rich new studies of well-known and frequently-studied Czech dissident authors (Kundera, Hrabal, Havel) along with important, broad investigations of less-studied writers and cultural figures from the next generations. Scholars and students will find essential new perspectives, material, and avenues for investigation that are opened up by this volume, which demonstrates that Czech literary studies continue to thrive and innovate.
