This History presents a broad canvas of post-war Czech literary
developments within the cultural and political context of the
times. Information is provided about the many English-language
translations from Czech literature, and the circumstances in which
these translations came about. Analysis is by way of quoting from
original Czech works, especially poetry, with English translation.
'Profiles of the Most Important Czech Writers since 1945' gives
biographical and bibliographical details about the most important
post-war Czech writers, and links to secondary literature in
English. The volume also includes a bibliographical list of the
most important works in English on Czech history, literary history
and politics, as well as a list of anthologies of Czech post-war
literature in English. Originally published in Czech, this English
translation has been entirely re-worked, taking the needs of the
English-speaking reader and student into consideration. 'Writers
Under Siege' is intended for all readers interested in or studying
the literatures and cultures of Central Europe. It is essential
reading for students of Czech and Slavonic Studies.
