Reviews

Admirably fills a gap in the history of Czech nationalism. By focusing on a small group of intellectuals and popularizers, Agnew illustrates the early contours of Czech national ideology and self-image. . . . This well-researched and highly recommended study is certain to stimulate additional research on eighteenth- and early nineteenth-century Czech history."" - Slavic Review

""There is no book like this, even in the Czech language."" - Josef Anderle, University of North Carolina
