From Laughter to Forgetting A Sourcebook of Czech Avant-Garde Discourses - Zuzana Říhová - diskuze

A comprehensive reader on the Czech literary avant-garde. This book offers 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 ingrained 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. This volume should be on hand to every scholar or reader interested in avant-garde art.
