The Czech Avant-Garde Literary Movement Between the Two World Wars
tells the little-known story of the renaissance of Czech literary
arts in the period between the two world wars. The avant-garde
writers during this period broke down the barrier between the elite
literary language and the vernacular and turned to spoken language,
substandard forms, everyday sources such as newspapers and
detective stories, and forms of popular entertainment such as the
circus and the cabaret. In his analyses of the writings of this
period, Thomas G. Winner illuminates the aesthetic and linguistic
characteristics of these works and shows how poetry and linguistics
can be combined. The Czech Avant-Garde Literary Movement Between
the Two World Wars is essential reading for courses on modern Czech
literature, comparative literature, and Slavic literature.
