This is a collection of essays based on papers delivered at a
symposium at the school of Slavonic and East European studies.
Although few major Slovak writers published during the 1970's
"normalisation" period after the Warsaw Pact intervention, Slovak
literature did not stagnate like Czech literature. The essays in
this volume cover the whole period from the death throes of
socialist realism to the lively sophisticated, cosmopolitan fiction
of the late 1970s and 1980s. The cut-off date is 1988. All the
prose writers considered important by the Slovaks themselves and by
non-Slovak scholars are covered: Tatarka, Jaros, Johan Ides,
Ballek, Bednar, Dusek and so forth. The volume contains a survey
introduction to Slovak fiction from the 1950's to the present.
The Literature of Nationalism concerns literature in its broadest
sense and the manner in which, in belles lettres, the oral
tradition and journalism, language and literature create
national/nationalist myths. It treats East European culture from
Finland to 'Yugoslavia', from Bohemia to Romania, from the
nineteenth century to today. One third of the book concerns women
and ethnic identity, and the rest covers subjects as varied as
Bulgarian Fascism and the impact of political change on language in
Hungary and ex-Yugoslavia.
This is part of a series of three volumes which provides a critical
assessment of the actual achievement of this university professor,
who became the first President of Czechoslovakia. They assess
Masaryk's value as a national and international politician as well
as a scholar and publicist. Individual chapters consider such
topics as his parliamentary activities, his contribution to the
feminist movement, his involvement in the Austrian equivalent to
the Dreyfus trial, his theories of Czech and particularly Russian
cultural history and his sociological studies of literature.

Modern Slovak Prose is a collection of essays based on papers

a survey introduction to Slovak fiction from the 1950s to the
present. This book is the first to assess an area of east central
European culture which has been virtually ignored in the West.
